background and objectives: alkalinity stress caused by the alkaline salts such as na2co3 or nahco3 in the soil. alkaline stress affected germination, growth and crop productivity. moreover, the alkalinity stress can directly damage plant growth, alter the availability of nutrients, and disrupt the balance of ions and mineral nutrition. the application of different seed pretreatment methods is o...

background & aim: because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. experimental: a laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in heracleum persicum desf.  by seed osmo-primming in seed technology laboratory ...

soil salinity affects a large part of the region in iran. salinity covers 12.5% oftotal area of the country. priming of seeds in sodium chloride and water (hydro-priming)has been reported to be a simple technique for enhancing the seedling establishment andgermination performance in the seeds of many crops and small seeded grasses under thestress conditions. therefore, the aim of this research ...

Seed priming is a technique which is potentially able to promote rapid and more uniform seed germination and plant growth as well. In this regards, the presowing effects of seed priming treatments were investigated on some physiological viz. seed germination, germination rate, radicle elongation, shoot elongation, radicle dry weight, shoot dry weight and vigor index. Seeds were subjected to two...

Theories on spatial priming usually explain priming effects (the reduction of reaction time) by spreading activation. In the field of spatial cognition concurrent models like post-lexical priming mechanisms or compound cue theories (expectancy-based priming theories) have not been consequently discussed. None of the existing theories, however, provides a sufficient explanation for both kinds of...

BACKGROUND The optimal priming solution for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the influence of high-volume priming with a modern balanced hydroxyethyl starch (HES) preparation on coagulation, inflammation, and organ function compared with an albumin-based CPB priming regimen. METHODS In 50 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, the CPB circuit ...

This study investigates priming in an implicit word stem completion (WSC) task by analyzing the effect of linguistic stimuli characteristics on said task. A total of 305 participants performed a WSC task in two phases (study and test). The test phase included 63 unique-solution stems and 63 multiple-solution stems. Analysis revealed that priming (mean = 0.22) was stronger in the case of multipl...
