Seed Priming: New Comprehensive Approaches for an Old Empirical Technique (2016, background): “Despite the aforementioned limitations, many reports indicated beneficial effect of hydropriming on seed germination and seedling growth under both optimal and stress conditions, in various crop plants such as chickpea, maize [19], wheat [20], Indian mustard [21], canola [22], sunflower [23], rice [”
EFFECT OF SEED PRIMING ON GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH OF TWO MEDICINAL PLANTS UNDER SALINITY (2010, background): “It is reported that in sunflower, watermelon and melon seeds, priming with salt (NaCl) causes an increase in GR and rapid establishment of seedlings from treated seeds (Demir Kaya et al., 2006; Foti et al., 2008).”
Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management (2011, positive): “In sunﬂower, osmopriming with KNO 3 and hydropriming improved the germination and stand establishment under stress conditions (Kaya et al., 2006).”
