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.

Changes in Some ATP-Dependent Activities in Seeds during Treatment with Polyethyleneglycol and during the Redrying Process

TL;DR: During the imbibition of seeds in polyethyleneglycol (PEG), increasing amounts of ATP accumulated up to 24 h and the incorporation of AMP into the acid-insoluble fraction in seeds imbibed in PEG in the presence of radioactive AMP levelled off after 24 h followed by a sharp decrease of up to 10% of the peak 5 d after the start of imbibitions.

TL;DR: Findings support a role for ethylene perception in determining the length of time Arabidopsis seeds remain in the lag phase prior to radicle protrusion.

Both anti-oxidation and lipid-carbohydrate conversion enhancements are involved in priming-improved emergence of Echinacea purpurea seeds that differ in size

TL;DR: Both solid matrix priming and osmopriming increased emergence percentage and shortened mean emergence time of purple coneflower seeds by increasing the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes and decreasing the levels of malondialdehyde and total peroxide accumulation.

Enhanced expression of BiP is associated with treatments that extend storage longevity of primed tomato seeds

TL;DR: Enhanced BiP expression may contribute to the improved longevity of primed seeds following postpriming treatments, as it is implicated in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance during seed maturation.
