Summary

Introduction

Seed deterioration is a physiological phenomenon that affects all germination, biochemical, cytological, and growth characteristics of plants. It is necessary to use seed vigor enhancement methods to resolve these problems. One of these methods is the application of seed priming techniques to reduce deterioration effects. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different pre-treatments by using Nano-zinc, ascorbic acid, humic acid, gibberellin and KNO3 on germination indices and chromosomal aberration of aged onion seeds
