• Overcoming Salinity Barriers to Crop Production Using Traditional Methods (2013, background): “It has been claimed that seed priming contributes to metabolic repair in seeds and the buildup of germinationenhancing metabolites, induces osmotic adjustment, and reduces the lag time of imbibitions (Ashraf and Foolad, 2005).”
• EFFECT OF SEED PRIMING ON GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH OF TWO MEDICINAL PLANTS UNDER SALINITY (2010, methodology): “These techniques include hydropriming, osmoconditioning, osmohardening, hardening and hormonal priming or soaking prior to sowing (Basra et al., 2005; Ashraf and Foolad, 2005).”
• Seed priming to alleviate salinity stress in germinating seeds. (2016, positive): “Seed priming is one of the useful physiological approaches that could adapt glycophyte species to saline conditions (Sivritepe et al., 2005; Ashraf and Foolad, 2005; Kazemi and Eskandari, 2012; Gholami et al., 2015).”
• Seed Priming: New Comprehensive Approaches for an Old Empirical Technique (2016, background): “osmotic stress, salt, and drought created by the priming agents) [36, 132].”
• Effect of pre-sowing treatment on seed germination and seedling vigour in endive and chicory (2009, methodology): “…in inorganic salt solutions), osmopriming (soaking in solutions of different organic osmotica), thermopriming (treatment of seed with low or high temperatures), solid matrix priming (treatment of seed with solid matrices), and biopriming (hydration using biological compounds) (Ashraf, Foolad…”
• Pretreatment of seed with H2O2 enhances drought tolerance of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings (2009, background): “These seed pretreatments are reported to induce pre-germination changes, which usually have beneficial effects on seed germination rate and uniformity, seedling growth and development, specifically under stressful conditions (Parera and Cantliffe, 1991; Ashraf and Foolad, 2005).”
• Alleviation of salinity stress on Vicia faba L. plants via seed priming with melatonin (2014, background): “Priming (osmo-conditioning) is one of the physiological methods that improves seed performance and provides faster and synchronized germination and performs better under adverse conditions (Ashraf and Foolad, 2005).”
• Microbial ACC-Deaminase: Prospects and Applications for Inducing Salt Tolerance in Plants (2010, background): “The alleviation of harmful consequences of salinity on seedlings at the initial growth stages can be helpful for establishing a crop in saline soils (Foolad, 2000; Ashraf et al., 2003; Ashraf and Foolad, 2005, 2007).”
• Gibberellic acid mediated induction of salt tolerance in wheat plants: Growth, ionic partitioning, photosynthesis, yield and hormonal homeostasis (2013, background): “priming improves the rate and uniformity of seed emergence and growth particularly under stress conditions (Bradford, 1986; Ashraf and Foolad, 2005; Iqbal et al., 2006a; Iqbal and Ashraf, 2007a).”
• Effect of seed priming with NaCl on salinity tolerance of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) at seedling stage (2009, background): “This also helps seedlings to grow in stressed conditions (Welbaum, et al., 1998; Ashraf and Foolad, 2005; Carbineau and Come, 2006).”
