This study evaluated the effects of seed priming on germination and growth of A. millefolium by means of laboratory and greenhouse experiments conducted during 2018 in the Agricultural University of Athens. Treatments were GA3 (400 and 800 ppm), potassium nitrate (2% and 4%), polyethylene-glycol (soaking for 12 and 24h) besides an untreated control. Experiment in Petri dishes revealed that GA3 at 400 ppm, potassium nitrate (at concentration 2 and 4%) and PEG significantly increased germination percentage of A. millefolium, while germination rate was also significantly improved as a result of all seed priming techniques. In addition, due to the soil experiment, seedling emergence was significantly increased by GA3 at 400 ppm, potassium nitrate (at both concentrations) and PEG compared with the untreated seeds. Dry biomass of the young seedlings was significantly enhanced by means of GA3 (at 400 and 800 ppm), KNO3 (4%) and PEG for 24 h, indicating the potential effect of seed priming on first growth as well. The results of the present study revealed the significant positive effects of seed priming on A. millefolium seed germination, seedling emergence and early growth.

“…Biological yield and percentage ground cover had the highest positive correlations with grain yield per unit area (Table 5). This suggests that percentage ground cover and plant biomass have the major roles in determining final grain yield of mungbean, similar to that reported for rapeseed (Jabbarpour et al, 2012) and borage (Ghassemi-Golezani et al, 2013a).…”

Seedling establishment and ground cover can strongly influence grain yield of crops. Thus, a split-plot experiment based on RCB design with three replications was conducted in 2013, in order to evaluate the effects of water supply (I1, I2, I3 and I4: irrigation after 70, 100, 130 and 160 mm evaporation from class A pan, respectively) and hydro-priming duration (P1, P2 and P3: 0, 8 and 16 h, respectively) on field performance of mung-bean (Vigna radiata L.). Hydro-priming of seeds for 16 h resulted in the highest seedling emergence in the field, compared with control and priming duration of 8 h. Seedlings from hydro-primed seeds also emerged earlier than those from unprimed seeds, with no significant difference between priming durations. Increasing water limitation reduced ground cover and plant biomass, leading to yield loss of mung-bean. However, these traits were improved as a result of hydro-priming, particularly hydro-priming for 16 h. Biological yield and percentage ground cover had the highest positive correlations with grain yield per unit area, indicating the importance of ground cover and plant biomass in determining final grain yield of mung-bean.

“…In general, irrigation, as common agrotechnical treatment, was found to increase seed yield, as long as irrigation levels do not exceed crop water requirements (Szukała and Mystek 2006;Alderfasi and Alghamdi 2010;Hill et al 2011;Gresta et al 2017). However, some reports indicated that irrigation may also reduce vigor and sowing value of harvested seeds (Szukała and Mystek 2006;Faligowska and Szukała 2012;Ghassemi-Golezani et al 2012). It was demonstrated that seeds, seedlings, or mature lupin plants could differently respond to water excess; for example, in waterlogged soils, the seeds of L. angustifolius did not germinate and died within 4 days (Sarlistyaningsih et al 1995).…”

Main conclusion While plant irrigation usually increases yield, irrigation also affects seed characteristics with respect to endoreplication level, chemical composition, number of carbonyl bands, and cuticular wax profiles. Seeds of sweet varieties of the narrow-leaved lupin have good nutritional properties; however, these plants are sensitive to water deficit. Irrigation improves lupin yield, but can affect seed characteristics. The purpose of the study was to evaluate irrigation influence on lupin seed features and their chemical composition. Morphological analyses showed worse quality of seeds from the irrigated plants, with regard to their size and weight. This was confirmed by cytophotometric analyses which revealed a lower DNA content in the nuclei of cells from the apical and basal regions of the irrigated seeds. The lower degree of polyploidy of the nuclei entails lower cell sizes and limited space for storage components. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis demonstrated that protein and cuticular wax profiles of the irrigated seeds were different from the control. The electrophoretic analyses indicated differences in protein profiles including changes in the proportion of lupin storage proteins. Among the various studied elements, only the nitrogen content decreased in the embryo axis of irrigated plants. Although germination dynamics of the irrigated seeds was higher, the seedlings' development rate was slightly lower than in the control. The hydrogen peroxide level in root meristem cells was higher during germination in the control suggesting its regulatory role in seed metabolism/signaling. Our study indicated that irrigation of lupin plant affected seed features and composition.
