Abstract

The medicinal herb Ammi visnaga has a low seed germination rate, as a result breaking seed dormancy and raising germination percentage warrant a lot of attention and curiosity. The goal of this study was to promote the germination of A. visnaga seeds by priming them with gibberellic acid (GA3), kinetin (KN), and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for 12 hours and then tracking their long-term effects on seed yield and fatty acid content. It has the potential to help with the problem of low germination and seed quality in Ammi species. Seed priming with KN at 300 and 400 mg/L resulted in maximum increase of germination rate up to 84 %, compared to 40 % for untreated seeds. GC-MS was used to determine the fatty acid profile of the seeds generated. Seed priming with (GA3, KN, and NAA) has a significant impact on the quantity and quality of fatty acids produced in seed yield.
