The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management (2011, unknown): “Primed seeds usually exhibit increased germination rate, greater germination uniformity, and sometimes greater total germination percentage (Kaya et al., 2006; Farooq et al., 2007).”
Sustainable weed management in direct seeded rice culture: a review. (2013, background): “Beneficial effects of seed priming include increased germination rate, synchronized germination and faster emergence of seedlings (Basra et al., 2005; Farooq et al., 2007; Anwar et al., 2012b).”
Crop Production under Drought and Heat Stress: Plant Responses and Management Options (2017, background): “Seed priming has proved beneficial in improving the germination metabolism and early stand establishment of crops under normal and stress conditions (Farooq et al., 2007; Bajwa and Farooq, 2016).”
