Influence of osmo and hydropriming on seed germination and seedling growth in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars under different moisture and temperature conditions.

Abstract excerpt

Insufficient seedling stand establishment is one of the major obstacles to achievement of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) potential yield. In the present study, seeds of eleven wheat cultivars differing in drought resistance were subjected to hydropriming with distilled water and osmopriming with PEG 6000 for 12 h. Speed of emergence, vigor index and seedling dry weight were studied under two temperature...
