    The aim of this study was to determine the germination ability and seedling growth of the apple of Sodom by soaking in water, gibberellin (GA3), naphthylacetic acid (NAA), and salicylic acid (SA), separately. The findings showed that NAA at 50 mgL-1 produced superior germination (77.78%), germination speed (1.43 seeds/time interval), hypocotyl length (1.01 cm), hypocotyl diameter (1.13 mm), leaf number (2.66), and root number (17.25), followed by 50 and 100 mgL-1 GA3, particularly in germination percentage. The best root length (5.33 cm) was detected at 100 mgL-1 SA. In contrast, control seeds and water-soaked seeds showed inferior results. The seeds of the apple of Sodom can be germinated successfully as a result of treatment with NAA at 50 mgL-1, followed by GA3 at 50 and 100 mgL-1 .
