Abstract
The objective of this study was to reveal the effect of dehydration temperature and duration after priming on the germinability and membrane integrity in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seed. Seeds were primed in 150 mM KNO3 at 20 degrees for 4 days. Seed moisture content was increased from 7% to 47% after priming, which was 2% less than that imbibed in water. Priming induced longer duration for the promotion of metabolic activity without radicle protrusion than water imbibition. These results indicated that primed seeds showed earlier germination than water imbibition. Drying temperature after priming was critical for seed performance. Primed seeds at low dehydration temperature at 20 degrees showed better seed vigor, higher percent of germination, and lower leakage of amino acids and sugars than those of high temperature at 40 degrees. When primed seeds were dried at high temperature, they showed higher T50 values than those dried at low temperature, which suggested the greater leakage of amino acids and sugars.
