Abstract
The present invention relates to a processing method for increasing seed production rate of seed fruits of Cucumis sativus L., comprising the following steps: (1) preparing a plant growth regulator according to a formula proportion; (2) selecting seed fruits of Cucumis sativus L. growing naturally in a greenhouse and reaching a pollination stage, and dipping female flowers thereof with the plant growth regulator prepared in step (1) before pollination; (3) picking male flowers for pollination after the female flowers are completely dry; (4) dipping the pollinated female flowers again; (5) conducting field routine cultivation management. The present invention uses a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor “5-azacytidine” (C8H12N4O5) to treat the seed fruits of Cucumis sativus L. by soaking and dipping, wherein 5-azacytidine increases seed production efficiency by reducing fruit length of the seed fruits, reducing fruit weight and reducing nutrient loss for fruit growth.
