| Abstract | Good quality seed having high and uniform germination is an important factor forcrop production. Seed priming boosts physiological activities on seed quality during seedgermination for improving seed performance. In seed priming, seeds are hydrated in asuitable condition aiming to provide adequate water to start the metabolism processes ofgermination, but not enough to allow germination to be completed. Primed seeds usuallyresult in an accelerated and more uniformed germination. These normal and uniformseedlings from primed seeds lead to a higher yield production comparing with untreatedseeds. Seed priming is also called as a seed enhancement method in order to counterunfavorable conditions such as drought, salinity and cold conditions, taking place in cropproduction nowadays. Seed priming prepares seeds to be ready to cope with suchconditions. For example, primed capsicum seeds can be overcome cold and salinityconditions after treated with H2O2 + ABA or NaCl solution. |
