Advances in Drought Resistance of Rice (2009, background): “In rice, primed seeds usually exhibit increased germination rates, germination uniformity, and total germination percentages (Farooq et al., 2006a–f, 2009h) which have been attributed to metabolic repair during imbibition (Farooq et al., 2006a), a buildup of germination-promoting metabolites…”
Enhancing the Performance of Direct Seeded Fine Rice by Seed Priming (2006, methodology): “To carryout osmohardening, the seeds were hardened following the above mentioned procedure with solutions of CaCl2 or KCl with osmotic potential of –1.25 MPa (Farooq et al., 2006b).”
Improving the performance of transplanted rice by seed priming (2007, unknown): “The ratio of seed weight to solution volume was 1:5 (Farooq et al. 2006b).”
