Abstract: The arid eco-systems of the world can support plants with minimum water requirements that are drought and salt tolerant, for use in landscaping and gardening projects. Conservation of native plants are possible by utilizing aesthetically appealing native plants in urban landscape projects instead of water-thirsty exotic plants. In this study, efforts were made to standardize the techniques for mass propagation of Ochradenus baccatus, Peganum harmala and Gynandriris sisyrinchium. The treatments included exposure (10 or 20 days) to dry heat (50°C) to mimic the desert environment and various concentrations of gibberellic acid (0, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm GA3) either in combination or individual. There were twelve treatments, which were replicated thrice in a completely randomized design. Each replication contained 20 seeds. The data were analyzed using R procedure of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Dunkan’s Multiple Range Test. Highest germination (100%) was obtained when the seeds of Ochradenus baccatus were pre treated with dry heat for 10 days followed by treatment with 750 ppm GA3. Treatment combination of dry heat (10 days) and 500 ppm GA3 was effective for enhancing germination (64.7%) in Gynandriris sisyrinchium. No pre treatments were needed for the germination of Peganum harmala.
