Natural priming

     Author: Ivan Reyna Llorens

 

Priming is a widely used technique to enhance the seed potential in relation to the range and uniformity of germination. Priming consists in a controlled imbibition of seeds in order to improve some metabolic events without germination to be completed. In the soil seed bank, seeds are exposed to a variable environment including variations in temperature and water potential. These factors may vary in one single day causing periods of hydration-dehydration that resembles laboratory priming.
