Summary

AMERICAN GINSENG (PANAX QUINQUEFOLIUM L) ROOTS HAVE A DORMANCY PERIOD WHICH CAN BE SATISFIED BY EXPOSURE TO 273-283 K (0-10 DEG C) FOR ABOUT 100 DAYS. AFTER 50 TO 100 DAYS OF STORAGE AT 278 K (5 DEG C), STEM GROWTH OCCURRED AT ALL TEMPERATURES EXCEPT 293 K (20 DEG C), AT WHICH A MINIMUM OF 75 DAYS AT 278 K WAS REQUIRED TO SATISFY DORMANCY. STEMGROWTH RATE WAS RELATIVELY CONSTANT AT 273 AND 283 K BUT INCREASED WITH STORAGE TIME WHEN GROWN AT 288 K (15 DEG C) OR 293 K.
