Cover Story: There has been growing interest in developing new varieties of Saskatoon berries that are better adapted to different growing conditions and have improved fruit quality and yield. However, some problems are connected with the dormancy and low germinability of seeds, which prolong the breeding program of obtaining new cultivars. The seeds of the species exhibited physiological and physical dormancy. Dormancy breakage was promoted by stratification with KNO3, smoke-water or scarification with sandpaper, H2SO4 or treatments with pulsed radio frequency. The application of selected stratification, scarification, and other treatments showed improvements in the percentage, rate, onset, and uniformity of Saskatoon berry seed germination, increasing the potential for obtaining new plants for breeding purposes.
