Priming of Stylosanthes seeds [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2012
It is estimated that 60% of the area of cultivated pasture, in the Brazilian Savannah, is degraded or in process of degradation, due to, among other causes, the lack of nitrogen. The Stylosanthes genus is the legume which has the greater number of cultivars used in tropical pastures, however, its seeds have characteristics which can difficult the ...

Molecular and physiological dissection of enhanced seed germination using short-term low-concentration salt seed priming in tomato [PDF]

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2012
Seed germination is the initial step of plant development. Seed priming with salt promotes seed germination in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.); however, the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying the enhancement of seed germination by priming

The Effect of Osmo and Hormone Priming on Germination and Seed Reserve Utilization of Millet Seeds under Drought Stress [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with osmo and hormone priming on growth and seed reserve utilization of millet seeds under drought stress. Treatments were combinations of 4 levels of drought stress (0, -4, -8 and

The Effect of Priming on Germination and Enzyme Activity of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Seeds After Accelerated Aging [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
Maximum germination percentage achieves immediately after harvesting and gradually de#creases with storage time. Aging is one of the key factors in plant yield loss especially in vegetables.

Effect of Osmo-priming on Germination and Enzyme Activity in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Seeds under Drought Stress Conditions [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
Seed priming was used in barley to increase seed germination and tolerance on stress exposure. Barley seeds were treated with PEG (Polyethylene 6000 mw). After 7 days our results showed that, seed priming treatments significantly (p≤

Unravelling the dynamics of seed-stored mRNAs during seed priming. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Seed priming is a pre‐sowing treatment that enables more efficient and uniform seed germination; however, it negatively affects seed longevity. In this work, the mRNA dynamics underlying a hydropriming treatment have been investigated. Polysome profiling was performed on seeds during different stages of hydropriming.

Muskmelon seed priming in relation to seed vigor [PDF]

Scientia Agricola, 2004
A number of important factors may affect seed priming response, including seed quality. Effects of seed vigor on seed priming response were investigated using seed lots of two muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars. Seeds of muskmelon, cvs.
