Mountain almond (Amygdalus arabica) is a shrub with naturally distributing in Turkey, Iran, Iraq,
Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. A. arabica also known as bitter almond and can reach up to 2.5 m. The natural distribution of mountain almond is generally in the Southeast Region of Turkey. The present study carried out to determine the morphological and physiological characteristics of the seed of mountain almond.
The seeds were collected from three different populations of A. arabica in Adıyaman. For different each
populations seed weight, height, width, thickness, and 1000-seed weight were measured in the laboratory.
Morphological characteristics of A. arabica seeds varied according to their populations. Seed germination
tests were conducted at 20 °C, after prechilling for 0, 3, 6, and 9 weeks at 4 °C. Prechilling treatments of 3
weeks were insufficient, but 6 and 9 weeks of prechilling were found to eliminate seed dormancy and led
to the highest germination percentage. The average germination percentage after 0, 3, 6, and 9 weeks of
prechilling were 3.1%, 49.6%, 80.4%, and 81.1%, respectively. The average mean germination time was
approximately between 8 and 10 days.
