Effects of Some Treatments Prior to Strati cation on Germination in Kalecik Karası (Vitis vinifera L.) Seeds
Abstract
Kalecik Karası cv. (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the main grapevine cultivars in Turkey that is com- monly used in breeding programs. However, low germination of seeds is crucial problem for breeding programs. In order to increase the germination ratio of Kalecik Karası cv. seeds, they were strati ed at +4°C for 60 and 90 days following some pre-treatments with growth regulators such as benzylaminopurine (BAP), gibberellic acid (GA3), BAP + GA3, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Maximum germination ratio (66.67%) for 60-day strati cation was re- corded after pre-treatment with 1 g/l BAP + 3 g/l GA3. In addition, for 90-day strati cation, maximum germination ratio was also observed 64% after pre-treatment with 0.5 g/l BAP + 2 g/l GA3. According to the results, the highest germination ratio in Kalecik Karası cv. seeds was realized in 0.5-1 g/L BAP + 2-3 g/L GA3 treatments.
