Promotive Effect of Priming with 5-Aminolevulinic Acid on Seed Germination Capacity, Seedling Growth and Antioxidant EnzymeActivity in Rice Subjected to Accelerated Ageing Treatment

Seed deterioration by ageing caused by natural and artificial treatments lowers germinability and viability. Seed priming is a technique used to relieve seed deterioration from ageing. We evaluated the effect of seed priming with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) at various concentrations on the seed germ...
