The growth of seedlings (Malus domestica Borkh cv. Antonówka) obtained from embryos isolated from non-stratified and stratified (90 days at 4-5°C) seeds was compared. The lack of differences in the germination power of embryos isolated from non stratified and stratified seeds, and the observed normal growth of plants obtained from non-stratified seeds, point to the fact, that the seeds of the autumn apple 'Antonówka' do not pass the stage of embryonal dormancy
