In the present work, the effect of five different propolis samples collected from different regions of Turkey (Cankiri, Aksaray, Milas-Kalemli, Gumushane-Kaletas) in 1994 and from Gumushane-Kaletas in 1995 on germination percentage and cell division in the root tips of wheat seedlings (Triticum durum Desf. cv.Kunduru) were studied. For this reason, the ethanolic extracts of propolis (EEP) were prepared in four different concentrations. Our findings show that, propolis solutions (EEP) depending on the concentration, significantly inhibited the percentage of germination in comparison with distilled water and their self alcohol controls. In the root tip cells of EEP-treated seedlings, the mitotic cell division was also inhibited significantly with respect to distilled water control. Propolis samples from Milas-Kalemli and Cankiri regions inhibited the mitotic index significantly as compared with their alcohol controls. The maximum inhibitions in both germination and mitotic index were obtained with the propolis collected from Cankiri. There was a significant difference between the 1994-1995 Gumushane-Kaletas propolis collections, on germination.
