ETHANOL PRIMING: AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO ENHANCE GERMINATION AND SEEDLING DEVELOPMENT BY IMPROVING ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM IN TOMATO SEEDS
Tomatoes reportedly have a positive response to seed priming. The present study evaluates the effects of ethanol priming on germination, seedling vigour and antioxidative responses of tomato seeds. Priming was achieved by exposing seeds of ‘Roma’ and ‘Nagina’ to 2, 4 and 6% aerated ethanol solution...
