Plants leverage past stress experiences, whether occurring individually or in sequential
combinations, to bolster their responses to future stressful situations, a phenomenon known …

This study evaluates the effects of hydration and dehydration cycles (HD cycles) on seed
germination of four Caatinga tree species (Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil …

In seasonally dry tropical forests, seeds are naturally submitted to hydration and dehydration
cycles (HD cycles) during germination, which can promote the seed hydration memory …

Saline stress impairs germination and initial plant growth. However, discontinuous hydration
cycles induce osmotic tolerance in seeds and can improve the response of maize seeds to …

The objective of this research was to test the effect of Hydropriming to promote the
emergence and vigor in seeds of members of the Caatinga biome. Therefore, the following …

RESUMO A utilização de ciclos de hidratação descontínua pode atuar na melhoria da
germinação de sementes e crescimento inicial de plântulas sob estresse hídrico. Nesse …

The seedling stage is crucial for plant establishment in natural and agricultural ecosystems.
Some species have reduced germination rates and are sensitive to environmental stresses …

Seeds maintained on seed banks are submitted to two conditions of light during
discontinuous hydration: presence or absence. We aimed to investigate the influence of light …

Water is an essential abiotic factor for seed imbibition process. Seeds of several Caatinga
species have a physiological strategy known as seed hydration memory to mitigate the …

Given that water availability plays a central role in seed germination and is a limiting
resource in arid and semi-arid environments, a series of experiments were performed to …
