In order to investigate the effect of planting date on germination characteristics and biochemical activity of seed in different quinoa genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the Research Laboratory of Seed Physiology and Biotechnology of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at University of Guilan in 2019. The experiment was performed as a split plot in the form of a Randomized Complete Block Design in three replications. The seeds of three genotypes T, R and Q29 were planted on six planting dates: 15 January, 15 February, 15 March, 15 February, 15 May and 15 June in the research farm of Karaj Seedling and Seed Breeding Research Institute. The harvested seeds from the treatments available in the field were transferred to the laboratory in order to investigate seed germination characteristics and vigour, and were measured germination percentage and rate, length and weight of the seedling, length and weight index of the seed vigour, electrical conductivity of the seed solution, and biochemical characteristics of soluble protein content, malondialdehyde content, alpha amylase, catalase and peroxidase enzyme activity. The interaction of two factors was significant on germination percentage, germination rate, number of abnormal seedlings, activity of alpha-amylase, catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase enzymes, soluble protein content, malondialdehyde content and electrical conductivity of seed solution. The three planting dates of 15 January, 15 February, 15 March in Q29 genotype showed the highest percentage, germination rate, alpha-amylase enzyme activity and the highest number of abnormal seedlings.
