Rahmi Büyükballı MYO Bahçe Tarımı Programı, Antalya Viewed : 1976 - Downloaded : 970 Capparis spp. is the one of the important plants for Mediterranean countries because of its high tolerance to marginal environmental conditions as poor soil and high temperature. However, in the first year germination percentage is low due to seed coat dormancy. Effects of some pre-treatments (H₂SO₄ and GA₃) on seed germination of Capparis spinosa L. were examined in this research. As a result of the research, 30 minutes H₂SO₄ + 600 ppm GA (%30.55) was found to be the best pre-treatment for in vivo conditions and 30 minutes H₂SO₄ + 200 ppm GA₃ (%61.11) for in vitro conditions.
