Ghingaru (Pyracantha crenulata (D. DON) M. ROEMER) is an important thorny Himalayan wild edible shrub. Fruits of the plant are rich source of anti-oxidants and used in preparation of cardio-tonic. However, scant scientific information is available on it mass propagation through seeds. The present study reports effect of chemical seed pre-treatments with sodium chloride, potassium nitrate, thio-urea along with hydro-priming on seed germination in ghingaru. Results revealed significant (P ≤ 0.05) improvement in germination of the stored ghingaru seeds through pre-treatment with potassium nitrate (300 or 400 mM) than the control and other treatments. The findings may be useful in mass propagation of the important plant as a source of nutrient rich food, medicines and other uses.

通过种子预处理在Ginggaru（Pyracantha crenulata（D. DON）M. ROEMER）中改善发芽：一种重要的野生食用民族药用植物

Ghingaru（Pyracantha crenulata（D. DON）M. ROEMER）是一种重要的棘手喜马拉雅野生食用灌木。植物的果实富含抗氧化剂，可用于制备强心剂。但是，缺乏有关通过种子大量繁殖的科学信息。本研究报告了用氯化钠，硝酸钾，硫脲和加氢引发对化学种子进行预处理对ghingaru种子发芽的影响。结果显示显著（P ≤0.05）中所存储的ghingaru种子发芽通过与硝酸钾（300或400毫米）比对照和其他治疗前处理的改善。该发现可能对重要植物的大规模繁殖有用，因为它是富含营养的食物，药物和其他用途的来源。
