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...

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...

to answer this question that if osmopriming improve germination indices in salinity-affected seeds of pinus eldarica medw., a factorial experiment in randomized completely design was carried out with three replications. osmotic treatments were applied in 5 levels (-2, -4, -6 and -8 bar for 72 hours and non-primed) by polyethylene glycol (peg) and salinity treatments in 8 levels (0, 40, 80, 120,...

A series of experiments were conducted in laboratory at The University of Agriculture, Peshawar to determine the optimal duration and maximal concentration of zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) for priming wheat seed. The seeds were soaked through a range of durations (0, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 h) and tested for germination as surface dry and dried to original moisture (12%). Seed soaked for 18 h resu...

priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence). the objective of this research was to evaluate effect of priming on seed emergence and yield under wide ranges sowing dates in cotton. treatments were combinations of 6 sowing dates and 2 seed treatments (control and primed seeds). hydropriming method was used; seeds ...

A laboratorial study was carried out to investigate the effect of NaCl priming on seed germination and seedling growth of canola. Canola seeds were primed with 1% NaCl solution for 24 hours, at 20°C. Then primed and non-primed seeds were irrigated with seven different saline solutions consisted of 0 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50% concentrations of NaCl. Results indicated that...
