This study aims to determine the effect of different priming methods on viability and early growth upland rice under drought stress. Priming is an important approach improve resistance plants stress from germination phase growth, especially sub-optimal land. There are several efficient as seed pretreatment increase tolerance An effective method needed seedlings for application in dryland agricu...

The relationship between exogenous melatonin applied into cucumber seeds during osmopriming and modifications of their antioxidant defense was studied. Accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione pool were investigated in embryonic axes isolated from the control, osmoprimed, and osmoprimed with melatonin seeds. Germinating cucumber seeds are very sensitive t...

Rice belongs to tropical and subtropical environments and is extremely sensitive to chilling stress particularly during emergence and early stages of seedling development. Seed priming can be a good approach to enhance rice germination and stand establishment under chilling stress. The present study examined the role of different seed priming techniques viz., hydropriming, osmopriming, redox pr...

To compare the responses of two open-pollinated tomato varieties to germination parameters and shoot growth, seeds varieties, Mersa Tekeze-1 were given osmopriming treatments with potassium nitrate (KNO3) in a lab setting. A completely randomized design four replications was used. The analysis variance revealed that both responded differently priming concentrations significantly ( <math xmlns="...

to better understand seed priming that improve seed germination and seedling uniformity, we examined the physiological role of osmopriming in germination of bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seed embryos by a proteomic approach. for this purpose, we used two systems. the first system consisted of osmo-primed seeds by peg 6000 at -0.8 mpa at 15?c for 24 hours, followed by air drying at 15?c, an...

to determine the effects of priming and planting density on improvement of morphological and physiological traits of the two hybrid corns sc (s.c. 704) under double cropping in sari, a split plot experiment as randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2010. treatments included two densities of 80 and 100 thousand plants per hectare as the first factor and osmoprim...
