(Brassicaceae) were collected from the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. By applying generative and vegetative propagation techniques the most suitable production technique was determined for the species. Germination tests were performed and different storage conditions were specified at different temperatures in germination cabinets under laboratory conditions. The optimum germination temperature, germination rate, mean germination time (day) and mean germination performance were determined. Adaptation capabilities and some selection criteria of populations were identified. The 2 years production period was reduced to 1 year and Tchihatchewia isatidea Boiss has been identified as a candidate species of ornamental plants. ER -
