Priming memory invokes seed stress-tolerance

TLDR
A hypothetical model illustrating the cellular physiology of priming-induced stress-tolerance is proposed, likely achieved via two strategies: first, seed priming sets in motion germination-related activities that facilitate the transition of quiescent dry seeds into germinating state and lead to improved germination potential, and secondly, priming imposes abiotic stress on seeds that represses radicle protrusion but stimulates stress responses.

The efficacy of different seed priming agents for promoting sorghum germination under salt stress

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different seed priming agents on sorghum seed germination under salt stress were quantified with distilled water (HP), sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

Impact of Seed Priming on the Modulation of Physico-chemical and Molecular Processes During Germination, Growth, and Development of Crops

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss different types of seed priming methods and their scope in mitigating abiotic and biotic stresses, and explain mechanisms of seed "priming-induced" physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes in regulation to stress tolerance.

Priming with Ascorbic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide improves Seedling Growth of Spring Maize at Suboptimal Temperature

TL;DR: At low temperature, seed priming with hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid and salicylic acid improved seedlings’ growth probably through inducing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, better chlorophyll contents and enhanced nutrient contents.

Eco-friendly synthesis of phytochemical-capped iron oxide nanoparticles as nano-priming agent for boosting seed germination in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

TL;DR: In this article, phytochemical-capped FeO NPs are presented as a capable nano-priming agent for stimulating the germination of naturally aged rice seeds, which could enhance α-amylase activity, iron acquisition, and ROS production, ensuing elevated soluble sugar levels for supporting seedling growth and enhancing seed germination rate, respectively.

Reactive oxygen gene network of plants

TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, a network of at least 152 genes is involved in managing the level of ROS, and this network is highly dynamic and redundant, and encodes ROS-scavenging and ROS-producing proteins.

What is seed water memory?

Seed water memory refers to the improved stress-tolerance of germinating seeds that have undergone seed priming, a pre-sowing treatment involving partial hydration of seeds.
