Development of Hydropriming Techniques for Sowing Seeds of Upland Rice in Uganda

American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2018
Hydropriming is one of the presoaking, seed priming technique that allows seeds to imbibe water and go through the first stage of germination but does not allow radicle appearance. After water imbibition, seeds are dried to their original weight. This technique is used to help crops overcome environment stress.

Putative involvement of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA‐mediated ceRNA network regulation in drought priming to enhance drought tolerance in Nicotiana tabacum

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Drought priming increased the tolerance of Nicotiana tabacum to severe, recurring drought stress by modulating the expression of stress‐related genes via long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which acted as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

Effect of Seed Priming by Zinc‐Ion and Zinc‐Oxide Nanoparticle Enriched Plasma‐Activated Water in Osmotic‐Stressed Arabidopsis thaliana

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
Plasma treatment with metallic Zn stabilizes nitrite, while ZnO nanoparticles favour for nitrite oxidation. PAW seed priming alters seed coat, increases K⁺ efflux, improves germination, and enhances Zn uptake. Under osmotic stress, seedlings show higher NO levels, with improved cotyledon growth and stomatal formation, strengthening early stress ...

Nano/Micro‐Engineered Hydrogel Carriers for Sustainable Agriculture: Bridging Structural Form to Field Performance

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are 3D polymeric networks that can absorb and retain significant amounts of water and exhibit physical properties such as swelling and contraction in response to changes in the external environment. Owing to these unique physicochemical properties, hydrogels have attracted interest as effective solutions to key challenges in modern ...

Seed priming methods tested on Salvia officinalis L. germination according to BBCH scale

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Seed dormancy is a major impediment for the production of Salvia officinalis L. (sage) seedlings. This study aims to test seed priming methods to break the dormancy of sage seeds in controlled conditions.

Ameliorative effect of melatonin on meristematic cells of chilled and re-warmed Vigna radiata roots

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Changes in ultrastructure of meristematic cells as well as growth and lipid peroxidation in roots of 3-d-old seedlings obtained from control (C), hydroprimed (H) and hydroprimed with melatonin (H-MEL) seeds after 2 d of incubation at 25 or 5 °C and 2 d ...

Improvement of Seed Quality by Priming: Concept and Biological Basis

Seeds, 2023
Presoaking seeds in water (hydropriming) or in a solution, usually of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or various salts at low water potential (osmopriming), has been demonstrated to improve the germination of seeds of numerous species including vegetables ...

Tolerance to 1 year of drought: The role of seed hydration memory in the germination and early seedling development of Xiquexique gounellei subsp. gounellei under prolonged water deficit

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study investigates the impacts of hydration–dehydration cycles (HD cycles) on the germination and early growth of Xiquexique gounellei subsp. gounellei. Our findings demonstrate that HD cycles significantly influence seed germination behavior. However, we observed that memory expression varies according to the plant's life stage.

Synergistic Effect of Priming and Purdue Improved Crop Storage on Field Performance of Upland Rice: A Way to Primed Seed Longevity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Poor germination potential and associated field performance are the main bottlenecks of upland rice in the Fogera district, Ethiopia. Accordingly, we investigated the effect of priming with calcium chloride, packaging material, and storage duration on the field performance of New Rice for Africa (NERICA‐4) upland rice seeds.
