dc.description.abstractApples are abundant in some micronutrients (including iron, zinc, vitamins C and E) and polyphenols (such procyanidins, phloridzin, and 5′-caffeoylquinic acid) that can help prevent chronic illnesses and micronutrient shortages. This review offers a current summary of the important bioactive ingredients found in apples, together with information on their potential pharmacological effects against long- term conditions like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The experiment's findings demonstrated that every treatment enhanced the germination of apple seeds and the growth of seedlings. Applying GA3, BAP, SA, and JA to stratified seeds will increase the rate of germination, seedling growth, and maximal PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm), among other benefits. Treatment T6, which included natural stratification and 2000 ppm KNO3, had the greatest effect on the shoot-root characteristics, germination rate, and survival rate of the seedlings when compared to the other treatments. Thus, T6, a naturally stratified medium containing 2000 ppm of KNO3, is a prospective therapy to improve general seedling development and apple seed germination.
