Seed germination and seedlings obtained are major parameters for generative rootstock production. The studies were conducted over 2001-2004. Seed was collected from fruits out of nine autochthonous pears cultivars and the one selected wild pear tree (Pyrus communis L.) within the Bijelo Polje municipality, Montenegro. The aim was to single out mother trees from the interesting autochthonous pears cultivars within the northern part of Montenegro as to produce generative rootstocks adapted both to severe temperate climate of hilly-mountainous region of northern Montenegro, and to poor soil types. The average seed germination amongst autochthonous sorts of pears was from 65.33% (cultivar Medunak) to 90% (cultivar Kacmorka). The average seed stratification amongst autochthonous sorts of pears was from 87 days (cv. Medunak) to 97 days (cv. Jerebasma). The average seedlings obtained was from 72% (cv. Medunak) to 88.33% (cv. Jerebasma). Cv. Kacmorka can be suggested for the production of generative rootstocks under the conditions of continental climate. A lot of genetic factors influence on seed germination and seedlings obtained.
