Description
Summary:Genetic-physiological approach was used in the study of the quality of Serbian spruce seed (Picea omorika /Pancic/Purkyn?), collected in the populations on the left bank of the river Drina. The seed originated from the three populations that represent the overall ecological and productive conditions of Serbian spruce populations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two natural populations were selected: Veliki Stolac and Gostilj, and one planted forest population in Srebrenica. The cones were collected in late autumn 2009 and early spring 2010. They were collected from five trees from Srebrenica and Gostilj, and seven trees from Veliki Stolac. Immediately after they were collected, the cones and seeds were processed and germination tests were done. Germination, germination viability and germination dynamics were studied in three categories of seed treatment: 1) control unit (just processed seed), 2) seed stored for six months at 0-4 ?C, 3) seed stored for seven months at 0-4? C and treated with fungicide after five months of storing. The number of germinated seed was observed and noted on the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, tenth, fourteenth, twenty-first and twenty-eighth day. There were significant differences in germination dynamics at the population level and the level of treatment during the first couple of days of germination test. Fungicide (captan) acted as an inhibitor on seed germination process. The seeds originating from the largest population of Veliki Stolac showed the best response to storing treatment with fungicide related to germination dynamics. The seed originating from Srebrenica andkept at low temperatures 0-4 ?C without treatment with fungicides showed the best result in germination. Regardless of the presence of differences in the dynamics of germination, significant differences in germination regarding different treatments on the last day of the test, were not recorded. Kvalitet semena omorike, (Picea omorika /Panc/ Purkyne), iz tri populacije, na levoj obali reke Drine, u Bosni i Hercegovini analiziran je primenom geneticko-fizioloskih metoda. Za analize je korisceno seme, iz tri populacije omorike koje reprezentuju ukupne ekolosko-proizvodne uslove njenih populacija u Bosni i Hercegovini. Dvije populacije su u delu njenog spontanog javljanja: Veliki Stolac i Gostilj, a jedna populacija je antropogenog porekla u oklini Srebrenice. Sisarice su sakupljene krajem 2009. i pocetkom 2010. godine sa pet stabala iz Srebrenice, sedam sa Velikog Stolca i pet sa Gostilja. Neposredno nakon sakupljanja sisarice i seme su doradjeni. Energija klijanja, klijavost i dinamika klijanja ispitivana je kod tri kategorije semena: 1) sveze sjeme (kontrola); 2) seme skladisteno sest meseci na 0-4?C; 3) seme skladisteno sedam mjeseci na 0-4?C, sa tim sto je bilo tretirano fungicidom nakon petog meseca cuvanja. Dinamika klijanja sjemena pracena je treceg, cetvrtog, petog, sedmog, desetog, cetrnaestog, dvadestprvog i dvadesetosmog dana. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na adaptacioni potencijal omorike za proizvodnju kvalitetnog semena na ekoloski razlicitim stanistima. Interakcija uslova stanista i genotipova stabala ukazuju na to da omorika na svojim priodnim stanistima postize cenoloski optimum, a ne i ekoloski. U sprovedenim analizama nisu evidentirane znacajne razlike u dinamici klijavosti na nivou populacija i na nivou tretmana tokom prvih nekoliko dana testa klijavosti. Fungicid (Captan) delovao je kao inhibitor procesa klijanja semena. Seme poreklom iz najvece populacije Veliki Stolac, najbolje je ragovalo na tretman skladistenja sa fungicidom sa obzirom na dinamiku klijanja. Seme poreklom iz Srebrenice koje je cuvano na niskim temperaturama 0-4?C, bez tretmana fungicidom, pokazalo je najbolji rezultat sto se tice klijavosti. Bez obzira na prisustvo razlika u dinamici klijanja, znacajne razlike u klijavosti, u odnosu na razlicite tretmane, poslednjeg dana testa nisu zabelezene.
