The Gentiana algida Pall. seeds serve as the raw material for the research. The influence of different temperatures, light and concentrations of gibberellin on the seed germination is researched in this article. It is shown that the temperature of 25°C is the ideal temperature for the seed germination. The lighting conditions have the significant effect on the G. algida germination. The conditions of the insufficient lighting do not facilitate the germination. It is established that the gibberellin solution with the concentration of 300400 mg/ml significantly promoted the seed sprouting and germination at the temperature of 25 °С.
