Seed Priming and Smoke Water Effects on Germination and Seed Vigor of Selected Low-Vigor Forage Legumes
A commercial solid matric priming method and an osmotic priming method were used to measure seed priming responses of birdsfoot trefoil, kura clover, and sericea lespedeza. Differences were not observed using standard germination tests, but both priming methods show potential for increased …

Meccanismi fisiologico-molecolari di germinazione in specie spontanee
Seed dormancy provides a mechanism for plants to delay germination until conditions are optimal for survival of the next generation. Knowledge of dormancy release and dormancy induction requirements is important to increase our understanding about the entire process. Furthermore, to assess the …

GERMINACIÓN, VIGOR, VIABILIDAD, CALIDAD Y MEJORA DE SEMILLAS DE CEBOLLA (ALLIUM CEPA L.)
… to improve the value of a non-commercial seed lot of an onion (Allium cepa L.) local variety from Galicia, Spain. Different seed conditioning treatments have been done: prehydration, osmotic and matrix priming, hormonal and disinfection treatments. A densimetric seed separation has been …

The effects of priming on vigor and viability of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck) seeds
Seed priming is a controlled hydration process, followed by dehydration, that allows pregerminative metabolic activity to proceed without germination. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of priming on intrinsic characteristics of seed germination including temperature, …

The application of actinobacterial extracts for plant growth promotion
Environmental stress conditions such as drought and salinity are some of the limiting factors affecting crop yield. The frequency of these environmental stress conditions is predicted to increase with the effects of climate change over the years posing a threat to global food security. To overcome …
