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.

Nanopriming technology for enhancing germination and starch metabolism of aged rice seeds using phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles

TL;DR: Different mechanisms underlying nanopriming-induced seed germination were proposed, including creation of nanopores for enhanced water uptake, rebooting ROS/antioxidant systems in seeds, generation of hydroxyl radicals for cell wall loosening, and nanocatalyst for fastening starch hydrolysis.

Seed imbibition in Medicago truncatula Gaertn.: Expression profiles of DNA repair genes in relation to PEG-mediated stress.

TL;DR: The expression profiles of genes involved in DNA repair, namely MtTdp1 (tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase), top1 (DNA topoisomerase I), MtTFIIS (transcription elongation factor II-S) and Mt TFIIS-like, were evaluated in Medicago truncatula Gaertn during seed imbibition carried out with the osmotic agent polyethylene glycol.

Sugarbeet seed priming: effects of priming conditions on germination, solubilization of 11-S globulin and accumulation of LEA proteins.

TL;DR: The range of temperatures and the concentrations of oxygen which were effective in priming were very similar to those which allowed solubilization of the B-subunit of 11-S globulin, supporting the robustness of this protein marker for optimization of sugarbeet seed priming.

Mechanisms and Genes Involved in Germination Sensu Stricto

TL;DR: Seed Development Dormancy and Germination provides a comprehensive overview of seed biology from the point of view of the developmental and regulatory processes that are involved in the transition from a developing seed through dormancy and into germination and seedling growth.

Physiological and biochemical changes induced in sunflower seeds by osmopriming and subsequent drying, storage and aging

TL;DR: The results suggest that ACC-dependent ethylene production might be a good indicator of seed vigour; it increases with duration of priming and decreases very early during aging, well before significant loss of seed viability.

Proteomics reveals potential biomarkers of seed vigor in sugarbeet.

TL;DR: The results underpinned the role in seed vigor of several metabolic pathways involved in lipid and starch mobilization, protein synthesis or the methyl cycle and corroborate previous studies suggesting that the glyoxylate enzyme isocitrate lyase, the capacity of protein synthesis and components of abscisic acid signaling pathways are likely contributors of seed vigors.
