This research was performed to develop mass propagation method of Alpine modest primrose (Primula modesta var. hannasanensis T.Yamaz.) for improving the conservation and utilization of the species. Seeds were collected on August 2011 in Jeju-city and well-selected seeds were dry-stored at 4 ± 1.0℃. Seed size ranged 0.44 ± 0.07 × 0.61 ± 0.04 ㎜, and weight of 1,000 seeds was 51.78 ± 0.021 ㎎. Thus the seed was classified as ‘dwarf seeds’. As the result of dormancy characteristics, moisture content of freshly matured seeds increased rapidly by water-soaking treatment and seeds did not germinate at 20℃ for 4 weeks under the light condition. Therefore, seeds were estimated to have physiological dormancy. Germination conditions of dry-stored seeds were found to be 20℃ and light condition, and seeds did not germinated under dark condition regardless of all temperature regimes. Therefore, Alpine modest primrose seed was considered as photoblastic type. Percent germination (PG) and germination energy (GE) were greatly improved by soaking the seeds in GA3 and kinetin for 24 hours. Especially, 200~500 ㎎/L GA3 treatment resulted in the highest PG (95.5%) and GE (98.3%). So, chemical treatment such as GA3 was thought to be a useful method for raising seedling uniformly.
