Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the most convenient method for seed germination of sandal wood (Arbutus andrachne L.), native to Mediterranean region of Turkey. With this aim, seeds prior to sowings were treated as follows: stratification of tlıe seeds at 4oC for 30, 45, 60 and 75 days, soaking in 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 ppm GA3 for 24 hours; in H2S04 for 1, 3 and 5 seconds; and in hot water at 40, 60 and 80oC for 1, 3, 5, and 7 seconds. Results indicated that the highest germination rate, which was 98 % , was obtained by stratification at 4oC for 60 days treatment, and soaking the seeds in 800 ppm GA3 for 24 hours treatment followed it with 95% germination rate. Stratification treatments resulted in higher germination rate for sandal wood seeds, whereas GA3 treatments shortened the germination duration. There were no germinations for the seeds treated with H2S04.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Akdeniz florasında doğal olarak yayılış gösteren Sandal ağacı (Arbulus andrachne L.) tohumlarının çimlendirilmesinde kullanılabilecek en uygun yöntemin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla tohumlar ekim öncesinde; 4°C'de 30, 45, 60 ve 75 gün katlama, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 ve 1000 ppm GA3’de 24 saat, %96’lık H2S04'de 1, 3 ve 5 dakika ve 40, 60 ve 80oC suda I, 3, 5 ve 7 dakika bekletme uygulamalarına tabi tutulmuşlardır. Araştırma sonucunda, %98 ile ortalama en yüksek çimlenme oranı, 4°C'de 60 gün katlama uygulamasından elde edilmiş ve bunu %95 çimlenme oranı ile 24 saat 800 ppm GA uygulaması takip etmiştir. Tohumlara ekim öncesi yapılan katlama uygulamaları daha yüksek çimlenme oram verdiği halde, GA3 uygulamaları çimlenme süresini kısaltmıştır. Sülfürik asit uygulamaları sonucunda ise, çimlenme elde edilememiştir
