Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Seed priming increased the environmental range suitable for sorghum germination.
- Intervention effect Seed priming strengthened the antioxidant activities of APX, CAT and POD in sorghum seedlings.
- Intervention effect Seed priming strengthened the antioxidant activity of SOD in sorghum seedlings.
- Intervention effect Seed priming strengthened the contents of free amino acid, reducing sugar and proline in sorghum seedlings.
- Intervention effect Seed priming strengthened the contents of soluble sugar and soluble protein in sorghum seedlings.
- Intervention effect Seed priming reduced lipid peroxidation in sorghum under stress.
- Intervention effect Seed priming stabilized the cell membrane of sorghum seedlings.
- Intervention effect Seed priming increased stress tolerance of sorghum under drought or excessive soil moisture.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with PEG was effective in improving seed germination and seedling establishment of sorghum under adverse soil moisture conditions.
- Intervention effect Osmopriming increased osmotic adjustment in sorghum seedlings, likely contributing to stress tolerance.
