Zinc Seed Priming Improves Spinach Germination at Low Temperature

Low temperature during germination hinders speed and early seedling development. Zn seed priming is a useful cost-effective tool to improve rate resistance low stress Spinach was tested development with under conditions. increased concentration up 48 times. The multispectral imaging technique VideometerLab used as non-destructive method differentiate unprimed, water- Zn-primed spinach seeds successfully. Localization of in the studied using 1,5-diphenyl thiocarbazone (DTZ) dying technique. Active translocation primed roots young seedlings detected laser confocal microscopy. at 6 mM showed significant increase total 8 °C.
