Abstract :The research was carried out between 2009-2010 to determine the germination characteristics of the seeds of two service tree insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sorbus domestica L.); genotypes selected from the central district of Tokat province. 9 different treatments were applied to the seeds and germination characteristics were determined at different stratification times. Germination characteristics varied depending on genotype, stratification times, and treatments. While the best germination in 60D2 genotype was obtained by 80% in 105th day of the stratification with 2000 ppm GA3 treatment, the best germination in 60D3 genotype was obtained by 90% again in 105th day of the stratification with Vitamin C + 1000 ppm GA3 treatment. Moreover, rotting of the seeds was mostly seen in sulfuric acid treatment. The seeds belonging to genotypes generally germinated in the first 5 days.
