Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Seed priming with 300 µg mL−1 AGE for 4 h had a positive influence on eggplant.
- Observation Prolonged exposure to 300 µg mL−1 AGE inhibited the seed germination process.
- Observation Prolonged exposure to the same AGE concentration induced oxidative stress in the seedlings.
- Observation Prolonged exposure to the same AGE concentration elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the seedlings.
- Observation Seed priming significantly altered the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and peroxidase.
- Observation Seed priming altered reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.
- Recommendation AGE seed priming is proposed as a bio-stimulant to enhance germination and early seedling growth of eggplant.
