Physiological quality of osmoprimed gherkin seeds [PDF]
Journal of Seed Science, 2013 It was aimed to verify the effect of different methodologies of osmopriming on physiological quality of gherkin seeds. Prior, it has been characterized the initial profile of the gherkin seeds. Then, the seeds were osmoprimed in gerboxes containing two blotter papers wetted with osmotic solutions in a volume equal to three times the paper dry weight ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Plant nutrition is an important aspect that contributes significantly to sustainable agriculture, whereas minerals enrichment in edible source implies global human health; hence, both strategies need to be bridged to ensure “One Health” strategies. Abiotic stress‐induced nutritional imbalance impairs plant growth.

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 4, July/August 2023., 2023 Abstract The environments where the progenitors are grown have the potential to affect the expression of traits in their offspring. Currently, there are various hypotheses regarding the evolutionary and ecological importance of stress memory effects. There is uncertainty regarding its occurrence, persistence, predictability, and adaptive value. In this

Hydro- and osmopriming improve chickpea germination
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Plant Soil Science, 2007 Abstract The effects of different priming treatments and durations on germination percentage, speed, synchrony and thermal time requirement of the seeds of chickpea were investigated. Seeds were osmoprimed in four water potentials (−0.5, −1.0, −1.5 and −2.0 MPa) of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or in 4% mannitol in addition to hydropriming for 12 or 24 h ...
