PHYSICAL EUSTRESSORS AS POTENTIAL TOOLS TO IMPROVE CROP STRESS TOLERANCE (REVIEW)
Background. The processes occurring in plants and their seeds under stress, as well as the defense mechanisms used by plants under stress, are poorly understood, which makes it impossible to use them to increase yields. Purpose. Review and analysis of

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]
Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Priming effects on labile and stable soil organic carbon decomposition: Pulse dynamics over two years. [PDF]
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major component in the global carbon cycle. Yet how input of plant litter may influence the loss of SOC through a phenomenon called priming effect remains highly uncertain.

Effect of Seed Priming Techniques on Germination Parameters of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)
A useful approach for improving seed germination and seedling growth is a seed priming technique. Application of the priming technique enhances water absorption, causing activation of metabolic activities in the seed.

Attention please: evaluative priming effects in a valent/non-valent categorization task (Reply to Werner and Rothermund, 2013) [PDF]
It has previously been argued (a) that automatic evaluative stimulus processing is dependent upon feature-specific attention allocation (FSAA) and (b) that evaluative priming effects can arise in the absence of dimensional overlap between the prime set ...

The emotional valence of subliminal priming effects perception of facial expressions [PDF]
We investigated, in young healthy subjects, how the affective content of subliminally presented priming images and their specific visual attributes impacted conscious perception of facial expressions.

Seed Priming Improves Seedling Vigor and Yield of few Vegetable Crops
Seed priming is a useful technique for enhancing seed vigor, and thereby, improving overall germination and seedling development in crop species. In tomato variety Gem, germination percentage, early flowering, plant height and leaf length were increased

Associative and repetition priming with the repeated masked prime technique: No priming found [PDF]
Wentura and Frings (2005) reported evidence of subliminal categorical priming on a lexical decision task, using a new method of visual masking in which the prime string consisted of the prime word flanked by random consonants and random letter masks ...
