“…The procedure is flexible (by mixing with other materials), cost-effective, and able to treat a large number of seeds 100 . Important enhancement in crop production has been noted in many reports for the use of MP under environmental stress, such as drought 23 , salinity 101 , and low temperature 102 .…”

“…The study detected that tomato (L. esculentum), carrot (Daucus carota) and onion (Allium cepa) treated with MP improved seedling emergence by 50% and increased the dry weight by acquiring thermotolerance compared to nontreated seeds. In another study, broccoli and cauliflower seeds were subjected to MP (vermiculite and water) for two days of incubation 101 . Salt stress (50, 100, 150 or 200 mM NaCl) was mitigated with MP treatment by increasing the physiological attributes and biochemical activity, such as peroxidase and catalase, and the contents of proline, soluble sugar, and protein in both plant species.…”

Farmers and seed companies constantly require high-quality seeds with excellent agronomic performance. However, faced with environmental adversity, limited natural resources and increasing food demand around the globe, more attention has turned to improving crop plant production by implementing efficient strategies. Seed priming technology has shown promising biological improvements leading to suitable agronomic performance in crop plants under adverse environmental conditions. Seeds are subjected to controlled conditions that are conducive to complex physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes, conferring specific stress tolerance to subsequent germination and growth conditions. In this review paper, we aimed to study the recent approaches in the efficiency of hydropriming, osmopriming, chemopriming, hormopriming, nanopriming, matrix priming, biopriming, physical priming and hybrid priming procedures in the production of crop plants under environmental adversity, as well as their biological mechanism changes. All priming methods demonstrated relevant changes in the biological mechanism related to crop plant production by mitigating salinity effects, heavy metals, and flooding stress and enhancing chilling, heat, drought and phytopathogen tolerance. We strongly recommend that researchers combine multiple priming methods, known as hybrid priming, in their investigations to provide novel technologies and additional biological approaches to enhance the knowledge of crop plant science. Thus, the findings shed light on the use of seed priming technology as a key strategy to increase crop plant production under environmental adversity by acquiring stress tolerance and enhancing agronomic traits to meet the global food demand.

“…Reduced seedling emergence causes an uneven establishment of the stand that results in crop yield reduction. In this context, several studies show that pre-treatment of seeds with different products is a simple and economical approach to improve plant tolerance to salt stress (Andrade and Laurentin, 2015;Mekawy et al, 2018;Samsampour et al, 2018;Silva et al, 2018;Silva et al, 2019;Arif et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2019;Feghhenabi et al, 2020).…”

Salinity is one of the striking problems in agricultural production in many parts of the world. Seed germination and seedling growth are two critical stages for the establishment of crops generally most sensitive to salt stress. The present study aimed at evaluating the germination and initial growth of pepper seedlings produced from seeds under different soaking times in NaCl solutions. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a 2 × 4 × 5 factorial scheme using two pepper species (Capsicum chinense Jacq. and Capsicum frutescens L.), four levels of electrical conductivity (EC) of solutions (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 dS m-1) and five times of seed soaking in the solutions (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h), with three replications. The traits evaluated were the number of germinated seedlings, percentage of germination, seedling height, and root length. The results showed that C. frutescens pepper was more tolerant to different times of soaking in saline solutions prepared with NaCl compared to C. chinense. Thus, the results suggest that depending on the pepper species, it is recommended to use seeds primed in saline solutions with salinity levels compatible with those under field conditions (in saline soils and/or irrigation with saline waters).

“…Priming treatments has some beneficial effects such as germination enhancement, emergence synchronization, early seedling growth, and minimizing the deleterious effect of abiotic and biotic stress as demonstrated in many crops wheat [23], chickpea [24], sunflower [25] and cotton [26]. Also, several other reports on maize, broccoli, cauliflower, and other leafy vegetables stated that priming reduces the mean germination time (MGT) and increase the mean germination rate (MGR) and synchronization index (Z) [27,28]. MGT is a measure of the time-spread of the germination while MGR is the reciprocal of MGT [29,30].…”

Seed germination is the most sensitive stage to abiotic stress, including salt stress (SS). SS affects plant growth and performance through ion toxicity, decreases seed germination percentage, and increases the germination time. Several priming treatments were used to enhance germination under SS. The objectives of this study are to 1) identify priming treatments to shorten the emergence period; 2) evaluate priming treatments against the SS; 3) induce synchronized seed germination. Salt-sensitive “Burpee bibb’ lettuce seeds were treated with 0.05% Potassium nitrate, 3 mM Gibberellic acid, and distilled water (HP). All the primed and non-primed seeds were subjected to 100 mM NaCl or 0 mM NaCl. The 7-day experiment arranged in a complete randomized block design with four replications was conducted in a growth chamber maintained with 16/8 h photoperiod (light/dark), 60% relative humidity, and day/night temperature of 22/18 °C. The result indicated that HP seeds were better synchronized under SS. Similarly, FM and DM of cotyledon, hypocotyl, and radicle were highest in HP lettuce regardless of SS. Electrolyte leakage was the lowest in the HP lettuce, while other priming methods under SS increased membrane permeability leading to osmotic stress and tissue damage. Overall, the HP can be a suitable priming method to synchronize germination and increase FM and DM by creating the least osmotic stress and ion toxicity in lettuce under SS.
