Title

Kazem Badeleh; Mehdi Aghighi Shahverdi; Haeshmat Omidi DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) 2015
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Priming significantly affected germination percentage, rate, daily germination, time to germination, and rate index.
- Association Drought stress levels significantly differed in seed germination rate.
- Association Priming and drought stress interacted significantly for the reported germination and seed vigor traits.
- Observation Primed Cucurbita pepo seeds showed partial drought resistance.
- Recommendation The authors identify gibberellin acid as first and hydro priming as second for improving seedling germination and growth under drought.
