Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Butenolide-primed tomato seeds had a higher percentage of nuclei at the 4C stage than water-primed seeds.
- Intervention effect Radicle emergence was faster in butenolide-primed tomato seeds.
- Intervention effect After 36 h of imbibition, 22% of butenolide-primed seeds showed radicle emergence compared with 12% of water-primed seeds.
- Intervention effect Butenolide-primed seeds germinated more rapidly than water-primed or unprimed seeds during the first 48 h.
- Observation Water-imbibed seeds reached a germination level similar to butenolide-primed seeds by 60 h of incubation.
- Intervention effect Butenolide-primed seeds produced significantly more vigorous seedlings than water-primed seeds.
- Intervention effect The seedling vigour index was significantly greater in butenolide-primed seeds than in water-primed seeds.
- Association Seedling vigour index decreased with longer seed storage at room temperature in both water-primed and butenolide-primed seeds.
- Observation Butenolide is a good seed-priming agent for tomato, according to the authors.
- Observation Primed tomato seeds retained the promotive effect for a considerable time.
