PRIMING PAPAYA SEEDS REDUCES SEED GERMINATION TIME

1994
Papaya seeds from four open pollinated papayas varieties 'Cariflora', 'Puerto Rico 6-65', 'Solo- 64' and 'Waimanalo 162' were soaked for 5 days in water or -1 MPa solutions of CaCl2, Ca(N03)2, K.C1 or KNOs. Following priming, treated seeds were rinsed and air dried for two days prior to planting. Untreated seeds were planted as controls.

Physiological Mechanisms Involved in Seed Priming

1989
The high degree of mechanisation in modern plant cultivation systems demands fast, uniform and complete germination. However, this agricultural demand is the extreme opposite of the evolutionary adaptations which wild species have made to ensure success in their natural environment.

Seed priming to alleviate salinity stress in germinating seeds

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2016
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop production in arid and semiarid areas. Seed germination and seedling growth are the stages most sensitive to salinity. Salt stress causes adverse physiological and biochemical changes in germinating seeds.

Bio-priming of Seeds

2012
Bio-priming is a new technique of seed treatment that integrates biological (inoculation of seed with beneficial organism to protect seed) and physiological aspects (seed hydration) of disease control. It is recently used as an alternative method for controlling many seed- and soil-borne pathogens.

Advances in seed priming techniques

2022
Seed priming is a technique involving seed hydration and drying which aims to increase germination speed and to synchronize germination to ensure a more uniform crop stand and yield. This chapter focusses on recent developments in priming from the point of view of the seed industry. It assesses the strengths and weaknesses on new techniques compared to

Proteomics of Arabidopsis seed germination and priming.

2003
To better understand seed germination, a complex developmental process, we developed a proteome analysis of the model plant Arabidopsis for which complete genome sequence is now available. Among about 1,300 total seed proteins resolved in two-dimensional gels, changes in the abundance (up- and down-regulation) of 74 proteins were observed during ...

Effect of Seed Priming on Seed Dormancy and Vigor

2019
Seed dormancy is a prerequisite for preservation and cultivation of crops. The genetic characteristics of seeds and external environmental conditions combinedly influence the seed vigority. Therefore, seed dormancy and vigor can modify the growth, development, and yield capacity of both agronomic and horticultural crops.

Nano-Priming as Seed Priming Technology for Sustainable Agriculture

Agriculture is threatened by climate change and by the depletion of resources and biodiversity. Exploring new farming methods is needed to increase crop production and ensure food quality and safety in a sustainable way. Nanotechnology is an emerging trend that contributes to sustaining agricultural production.
