in this study, the ecology of seed germination of Pinus nigra ssp. pallasiana var. şeneriana, that is an endemic plant in Türkiye, has been investigated, After the seed germination studies, it was determined that germination rate and ability of the darker seeds was 68.9 % and 93.7 % respectively. On the other hand those of the lighter seeds was 9.3 % and 12.5 % respectively. The darker seeds showed better germination ability, faster germination and shorter germination time than the lighter ones.
