Stratification (1 to 2 months in 5°C) increased seed emergence up to 66.66%. Application of 200 mg L-1 BA+400 mg L-1 GA3 resulted in highest emergence rates. In average, the highest leaf number, fresh and dry weights (5.23, 0.746 g and 0.296 g, respectively) were obtained when 200 mg L-1 BA alone was used. Using of 800 mg L-1 GA3 resulted in longest shoot (6.82 cm) after two months.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
