“…In contrast, in the present study Canakkale provenance had the largest acorns but showed the lowest germination percentage, while Sinop provenance had the lightest acorns and the highest germination percentage. In some tree species, large seeds showed increased germination and survival (Ke & Werger 1999, Cicek & Tilki 2007. On the contrary, the rule larger seeds = highest gerination rate does not hold for some other species, as it was in our study (Khera et al 2004, Tilki & Alptekin 2005, Tilki 2010).…”

“…Though, there was no statistically significant difference was observed between root to shoot length of different lines of Jumli beans, maximum root-shoot ratio (1.530) was found for bean variety KBL-1 and the least for observed in PB0002 (1.305). High root-shoot ratio for large sized seed might be due to high investment in root tissues promotion, that reach deeper levels of substrate with more water and nutrients (Canadell and Zedler, 1995;Yang and Midmore, 2005;Cicek, 2007). Further, the seeds with higher root length performs better even under drought conditions (Mut and Akay, 2010).…”

Bean is an important vegetable crop of Nepal but farmers of Jumla district of Nepal are experiencing low productivity, probably due to poor germination. Keeping these points in view, a study was conducted to determine the germination and seed vigour of various indigenous beans genotype of Jumla district during February to March, 2018. The promising lines of Jumli beans namely KBL-3, KBL-2, PB0002, PB0001, KBL-1 and farm saved KBL-3 were used under study. The experiment was laid in completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications and six treatments namely T1 = KBL-3, T2 = KBL-2, T3 = PB0002, T4 = PB0001, T5 = KBL-1 and T6 = Farm-saved KBL-3. Significant differences were observed in germination percentage, speed of germination, seed vigourindex and true leaf emergence among different lines of Jumli beans .The highest germination percentage (96%), seed vigour index (1367) and speed of germination (1.763) was found in the variety of KBL-3 whereas the lowest germination percentage (69%), seed vigour index (947) and speed of germination (0.968) were found in the variety of KBL-1. Days to true leaf emergence was found shortest in the KBL-3 (23.50) and longest in the farm saved KBL-3 (30.25). KBL-3 pureline of Jumli bean was found to be highly responsive to seed germination and vigour characteristics. Thus, it would be better to suggest the indigenous bean growing farmers of Jumla district to cultivate KBL-3 for better germination and seed vigour. SAARC J. Agri., 18(2): 67-75 (2020)

“…This situation affected positively the size of the seeds in 2015. Macit et al (2018) stated seed weight of A41 genotypes as 8.3 g. However, in 2015 seed weights were measured as 12.3 g. According to some studies, there is a positive relationship between seed size and seedling development (Soylu, 1986;Cicek and Tilki, 2007). Therefore, it can be stated that the thicker diameter of the A41 genotype in 2015 is due to the larger seed size of the seeds planted this year.…”

In Turkey chestnut cultivation is threaten by chestnut blight, chestnut root rot and Asian chestnut gall wasp. In order to obtain tolerant cultivars to the pests and diseases hybridization studies were performed. As a result, A14, A25, A41 and A100 hybrid chestnut genotypes were selected as superior. Some of these genotypes were registered by 'Republic of Turkey Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Variety Registration and Seed Certification Center'. A14 genotype named as 'Akyüz' and A100 named as 'Macit 55'. Grafting studies were performed with these genotypes and cultivars. However, due to graft incompatibility survival ratio was found low. To avoid graft incompatibility, own seedlings may be better candidate as rootstocks because of the degree of compatibility. In this study seedling rootstock potential of 'Akyüz', 'Macit 55' cultivars and A25, A41 genotypes were examined. 'Marigoule' cultivar used as control. The study was conducted between 2013 and 2015 at
