“…A number of earlier papers have highlighted that freezing results in irreversible damage to maize seed grains [25,26]. The present paper has shown that high values of germinability and germination energy of maize grain with 11.12% moisture after storage under different conditions were consistent with those published by other authors studying germination of maize seeds [27][28][29]. The experimentally obtained results of germinability and germination energy correlated with a moisture content of sowing seed grains have confirmed the appropriacy of the NDSU Extension Service guidelines, which recommend long-term storage of maize seeds under 15% moisture at a temperature range of between −1 • C and 10 • C (30-50F), while grains of 22-30% moisture need drying or can be used as fodder [30].…”

The present research attempts to characterize the effect of low temperatures, and the moisture content of maize (Kosmo 230) meant for sowing on its energy and capacity to germinate. Seeds were moistened to varying degrees and stored under various conditions; then, their germination energy and capacity were assessed. Sowing material with 15% moisture content showed slightly declined germination ability when stored at −25-−20 • C for over three days, while the storage of seeds with a 25 and 30% moisture content at −5-0 • C for 1-3 days had the effect of seed conditioning. Seedlings obtained from conditioned seeds showed sustainability characterized by faster growth, and demonstrated nearly twice the size as other plants. Warehousing and storage of maize grains with a 11.12% moisture content at temperatures up to −25 • C did not significantly affect seed germination capacity or energy, irrespective of storage time.Sustainability 2020, 12, 46 2 of 10 Sustainability 2020, 12, 46 9 of 10 a reduction in the grains' moisture content before storage can greatly conserve its germination energy and ability during storage at low temperatures, in comparison with grain of higher moisture content.

“…All seeds stored under air dry conditions will have suffered a degree of deterioration 11 and seeds in long-term storage will eventually lose their viability due to spontaneous biochemical damage occurring at cellular level 12 , leading to natural seed aging and subsequently limiting crop productivity. Seed priming is a technique that partially hydrates seeds in natural or synthetic compounds under specific environment to a point where germination-related metabolic processes begin, but radicle emergence does not occur 13 .…”

Application of nanomaterials for agriculture is relatively new as compared to their use in biomedical and industrial sectors. In order to promote sustainable nanoagriculture, biocompatible silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized through green route using kaffir lime leaf extract for use as nanopriming agent for enhancing seed germination of rice aged seeds. Results of various characterization techniques showed the successful formation of AgNPs which were capped with phytochemicals present in the plant extract. Rice aged seeds primed with phytosynthesized AgNPs at 5 and 10 ppm significantly improved germination performance and seedling vigor compared to unprimed control, AgNO3 priming, and conventional hydropriming. Nanopriming could enhance α-amylase activity, resulting in higher soluble sugar content for supporting seedlings growth. Furthermore, nanopriming stimulated the up-regulation of aquaporin genes in germinating seeds. Meanwhile, more ROS production was observed in germinating seeds of nanopriming treatment compared to unprimed control and other priming treatments, suggesting that both ROS and aquaporins play important roles in enhancing seed germination. Different mechanisms underlying nanopriming-induced seed germination were proposed, including creation of nanopores for enhanced water uptake, rebooting ROS/antioxidant systems in seeds, generation of hydroxyl radicals for cell wall loosening, and nanocatalyst for fastening starch hydrolysis.

“…A sample of 100 seeds were selected and placed inside the germinator for 7 days. Inside the germinator, the distilled water and the temperature enable seed germination to occur (Dragicevic et al, 2013). The germination was calculated as number of seeds that germinated out of the total seeds tested.…”
