Biochemical investigations on vigour enhancement in aged seeds upon seed priming in onion [PDF]
Loss in seed quality that occurs during all process, from maturation in the field to storage, leads to seed deterioration. Storage of onion seeds under ambient, hot and humid conditions is very problematic since these conditions deteriorate seed quality ...

Quantification of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) seed germination response to water potential and priming: hydro time models on the basis of normal, weibull and gumbel distributions [PDF]
Introduction Water potential osmotic is one primary environmental regulators of seed germination. Quantification of germination response to water potential is possible using hydro time model, also low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the

230 Seed Priming of Triploid Watermelon Seed [PDF]
Triploid watermelon seed does not germinate in cold, wet soils as well as diploids; germination is slower due to reduced embryo size and thicker seed coat; fissures on the seed coat provide safe harbour for fungal spores; and triploid fruit set is later than most diploid cultivars. Because of these problems producers often transplant rather than direct-

Priming winter wheat seeds with the bacterial quorum sensing signal N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) shows potential to improve plant growth and seed yield [PDF]
Several model plants are known to respond to bacterial quorum sensing molecules with altered root growth and gene expression patterns and induced resistance to plant pathogens.
