i am very interested about hydro priming specifically in soybean seed. and your article has a big relevant to us especially me as a student. but there are topics that i need to clarify, how about if the soybean reaches only in physiological maturity, would it be still effective in using hydro priming?
Abush Tesfaye
Thank you very much for your interest on my paper!
1. My result is on dry bean, not on soybean,
2. The dry bean evaluated in the expeiment were physiologically matured
3. As, similar seed coat characteristics and seed biology I expect similar response to hydropriming on soybean too, evenif the seed is physiologically matured

i am working on flower seed priming.can you please help me regarding effect of hydro priming on flower seeds.

i need all information about priming effect on pulse seeds.
Abush Tesfaye
It is generally difficult to conclude about all pulse seeds. But, generally most pulses have similar seed and seed coat charactertics, which expose them for leakage of substances during hydro-priming and loss of dessication tolerance during priming treatment (hydration followed by dehydration). Some pulses seed, such as soybean can easily split its cotyledon if hydrated for more than 10 minutes and consquently my fail to germinate. Hence, care must be taken when using priming treatments on pulses.

Respected sir / mam,
i need all information about priming effect USING NITRATES AND / OR NITRITES, on Pegion pea pulse seeds regarding Physio-biochemical / Molecular / morphological changes.

Dear Srivastava,
The informations you requested are not available with me. But, I feel that the area that you are trying to study is very interesting. Becasue, my study almost concluded that hydropriming is not a good option for dry bean. So trying other option may result in a better success. Please, try other sources to get the information
