Bu
araştırmada; lif bitkisi ve tıbbi bitki olarak kullanımının yanı sıra, sebze
olarak da tüketim değeri olan molehiya (Corchorus
olitorius L.) bitkisinin
tohumlarında, dormansiyi kırmak için farklı tohum uygulamalarının
çimlenme ve çıkış üzerine etkisi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla sterilizasyonu
yapılan tohumlara; kaynayan su (95 ºC; 10 ve 30 saniye, 1, 5 ve 10 dakika),
sıcak su (80 ºC; 5, 10, 15 ve 20 dakika), sülfürik asit (% 98’lik; 5, 10, 15,
20, 25 ve 30 dakika) ve ön soğutma uygulamaları (4ºC; 2, 3 ve 4 gün) yapılmıştır.
Denemeler; laboratuvar ortamında, 4 tekerrürlü ve her tekerrürde 50 tohum
olacak şekilde tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre yürütülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre; çimlenme oranı % 0.00-97.00, ortalama çimlenme süresi
0.00-3.98 gün, çimlenme indeksi 0.00-46.89, çıkış oranı % 0.00-82.00, ortalama
çıkış süresi 0.00-7.52 gün, çıkış indeksi 0.00-18.70, hipokotil boyu 0.00-1.79
cm ve kökçük boyu ise 0.00-4.28 cm arasında değişim göstermiştir. Çimlenme ve
çıkış parametreleri bakımından en başarılı uygulamalar; ön soğutma, sülfürik
asit (5 ve 10 dakika) ve kaynayan su (95 ºC, 10 saniye) uygulamaları olmuştur.
Çalışma sonucunda, Corchorus olitorius
L. tohumlarında dormansiyi ortadan kaldırmada, ekimden önce tohumların 2 gün
süreyle nemli ortamda soğukta (4 ºC) bekletilmesinin pratikte de rahatlıkla
uygulanabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Research on Overcoming the Dormancy Problem of Molekhia (Corchorus olitorius L.) Seeds

Öz

In this study, the effect of different seed applications on germination and emergence in order to break dormancy
of the seeds of molekhia (Corchorus olitorius L.) which is used as fiber, medicinal plant and consumed as a vegetable, was
investigated. For this purpose, sterilized seeds were exposed to boiling water (95 ºC; 10 and 30 seconds, 1, 5 and 10
minutes), hot water (80 ºC; 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes), sulfuric acid (98%; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes) and pre-cooling
(4 ºC; 2, 3 and 4 days) treatments. The experiments were carried out according to randomized blocks trial design with 4
replications and 50 seeds per replicate. According to results obtained, germination rate 0.00-97.00%, average germination
time 0.00-3.98 days, germination index 0.00-46.89, emergence rate 0.00-82.00%, average emergence time 0.00-7.52 days,
emergence index 0.00-18.70, hypocotyl length 0.00-1.79 cm and radicle length values varied between 0.00 and 4.28 cm. The
most successful treatments in terms of germination and emergence parameters were pre-chilling, sulfuric acid (for 5 and 10
minutes) and boiled water (at 95 ºC for 10 seconds) applications. As a result of the study, in order to remove the dormancy
from the Corchorus olitorius L. seeds, treatment of the seeds with pre-cooling (4 ºC for 2 days) in a humid environment
before sowing would be easily practiced.
