Comparison of Seed Properties for Different Origins of European Hop-Hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia Scop.)
Abstract
Some seed properties and germination percentage of European hop-hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia Scop.) provenances in Turkey were investigated in this study. The seeds were collected from Kastamonu-Cide, Adana-Saimbeyli, Antalya-Finike, Antalya-Akseki, Düzce-Yığılca, Zonguldak ve Niğde provenances. There were significant differences among the provenances in terms of seed properties such as thousand seed weight, seed fullness and seed viability. Three pretreatment were used: control, 1 month warm + 1 month colt stratification in perlite and 2 months cold stratification in perlite. After pretreatments the seeds were germinated at 5ºC constant temperature and then germination percentages were calculated. Results showed that provenance, pretreatment and their interaction had significant effect on germination percentage. The highest germination percentage (98%) was obtained in Kastamonu provenance after 1 month cold + 1 month warm stratification.
