From a biomechanical perspective, the completion of seed (and fruit) germination depends
on the balance of two opposing forces: the growth potential of the embryonic axis (radicle …

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that partially hydrates seeds without allowing radicle
emergence. Consequently, primed seeds are equipped with advanced germination and …

Abiotic stress is a major threat to the farming community, biasing the crop productivity in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. The seed is an important component of agriculture …

In the present study, we examined the impact of three seed priming agents; H 2 O 2, GA 3
and NaCl on the oxidative stress status in primed seed germination dynamics and growth …

Seed germination and uniform plant stand in field are of most critical stages of crop growth
that determine the final yield. Crop production is very often hampered under suboptimal …

The present study showed that osmopriming or pretreatment with low H 2 O 2 doses (2 mM)
for 6 h alleviated salt-reduced seed germination. The NADPH oxidase activity was the main …

El chile piquín (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum) que se consume en México es, en su
mayoría, recolectado de plantas silvestres. Esta actividad podría amenazar la diversidad …

The present study was on brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) seeds var. Punjab Nagina. The
quality of brinjal seeds in terms of vigour and viability severely declines due to natural …

We hypothesize that by simulating the natural priming in seeds of a species that forms
transient seed banks it is possible to clarify molecular aspects of germination that lead to the …

Priming in botany and agriculture is a form of seed planting preparation in which the seeds
are presoaked before planting. Farmers do not have sufficient resources to meet the …
