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.

Structural Changes in Lettuce Seed During Germination at High Temperature Altered by Genotype, Seed Maturation Temperature,

TL;DR: In this paper, the endosperm cell walls in front of the radicle of seeds matured at 30/20 8C were more readily disrupted and ruptured during imbibition than seeds that could not germinate at 36 8C.
