“…Studies reflecting the relationship between nanoparticles and growth, germination, oxidative stress, and antioxidant enzymes are abundant, indicating that nanoparticles may affect seed germination and seedling growth. Then, based on the data visualization, the search keywords ("nanoparticles" and "seed germination", "nanomaterials" and "seed germination") were utilized to screen the references according to the title, abstract, and keywords of the articles published without language restriction and without excluding any botanical family [17]. A selection process was then carried out to eliminate duplicate articles and those with topics not related to the objective of the meta-analysis.…”

“…The meta-analysis, an analytical method integrating the different results of various studies into a single common result, was developed through the international standard called Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-analyses (PRISMA) in this study [17]. In our study, Review Manager (Version 5.4.1) software was used to analyze the data for performing the meta-analysis to explore the effect of metal NP treatments on seed germination and seedling growth by calculating the mean difference (MD):…”

Using the proper means to improve seed germination is of great significance in agriculture and forestry. Here, a meta-analysis was used to examine whether metal nanoparticle treatments have a specific effect on the seed germination and seedling growth of agricultural species. Using the Web of Science (1950–2021), PubMed (1950–2021), and Scopus (1950–2021) databases, a paper search was conducted using the following items (“nanoparticles” and “seed germination”, “nanomaterials” and “seed germination”) to filter the references in the title, abstract, and keywords of the published articles. The results indicated that nanoparticle (NP) treatments had a significantly positive effect on the final germination percentage (FGP), with a mean difference (MD) (that is, the overall effect) of 1.97 (0.96, 2.98) for the silver (Ag)-NP subgroup, 1.21 (0.34, 2.09) for the other-NP subgroup, 1.40 (0.88, 1.92) for the total based on the NP types, 1.47 (0.85, 2.09) for the “Concentrations: < 50 mg/L” subgroup, and 1.40 (0.88, 1.92) for the total based on the NP concentrations. Similarly, root length (RL) was positively and significantly affected by NP treatment, with an MD (95% CI) of 0.92 (0.76, 1.09) for the zinc (Zn)-NP subgroup, 0.79 (0.65, 0.92) for the other-NP subgroup, 0.82 (0.72, 0.93) for the total based on the NP types, 0.90 (0.77, 1.04) for the “Concentrations: ≤ 50 mg/L” subgroup, 0.80 (0.60, 0.99) for the “Concentrations: > 50 mg/L” subgroup, and 0.82 (0.72, 0.93) for the total based on the NP concentrations. However, there was no statistical correlation between the nanoparticle concentrations and shoot length (SL), due to the inclusion of zero in the 95% CI of the overall effect. Therefore, Ag-NPs could increase the FGP more than other-NPs, while Zn-NPs enhanced RL more. Moreover, NPs at lower concentrations could improve the FGP and RL of crop species to a larger extent than NPs at higher concentrations. This meta-analysis can provide a reference for the nanoparticle treatment technology utilization in agricultural and forest seeds.

“…Great efforts are now being made in the search for clean production technologies that are environmentally friendly in order to support the germination processes of agricultural and forestry seeds and encourage plants to develop in a better and higher quality manner [27]. Chemical treatments, which are commonly used to increase the percentage of germinated seeds, are generally unfriendly to the environment, as well as time-consuming and expensive [28] [29].…”

Seeds were subjected to three different pre-sowing seed treatments: immersion in lukewarm water for 2 hours, immersion in concentrated sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) for 5 minutes, hilar removal, and a control in which the seeds were sown without being treated. The experiment was laid out in the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replicates and 60 seeds per treatment. Seeds were sown in an improvised Seedbox in October 2019. Germination was monitored daily for one month. The results showed that Mamalis seeds treated with lukewarm water have the earliest germination of twelve days, with a germination percentage of 66.67%. The germination rate of another treatment ranges from 0 -44 percent, compared to 45 percent for the control treatment. It seems prudent to conclude that to enhance the vegetative propagation methods is to soaking in warm water at 37.5˚C for 2 hours could provide the best growth.

“…Currently, it has been found to have a positive impact on seed germination in tree species such as Pinus pinea, Elaeis guineensis, and Fagus orientalis Lipsky [21][22][23]. Although magnetic field treatment is widely used in agricultural and forestry seed researches [24], it is rarely applied to releasing physiological dormancy of Tilia seeds. There is limited research on the combined effects of magnetic field treatment, GA 3 solution soaking, and cold stratification on seeds with combinational dormancy.…”

The seeds of Tilia miqueliana Maxim. exhibit deep dormancy, which is categorized as combinational dormancy. This study utilized a comprehensive treatment involving magnetic fields, gibberellin (GA3), and cold stratification to promote the release of seed physiological dormancy and enhance germination rates. After being soaked in 98% H2SO4 for 15 min, mature seeds of Tilia were exposed to magnetic field treatments (150 MT, 250 MT) for different durations (25 min, 45 min, 65 min, and 85 min), as well as GA3 solution soaking (concentration: 0 μmol·L−1, 1443 μmol·L−1). Subsequently, cold stratification (0–5 °C) was applied to investigate the effects of these treatments on seed dormancy release and nutrient transformation. The results indicated that the comprehensive treatment involving magnetic field, GA3 solution soaking, and cold stratification effectively released the physiological dormancy of Tilia seeds and improved germination rates. Among the treatments, M150T85G1443 (magnetic field intensity: 150 MT, magnetic field treatment time: 85 min, GA3 soaking concentration: 1433 μmol·L−1) exhibited the most favorable outcome. After 75 days of cold stratification following the comprehensive treatments, the germination rate of M150T85G1443 seeds reached 89%. Additionally, the levels of storage substances such as starches and crude fats within the seeds decreased, while the utilization of soluble sugars and soluble proteins increased. The M150T85G1443 treatment exhibited the highest degree of variation, leading to gradual increases in metabolic activities of the seeds and a transition from dormancy to germination.
