Abstract
The effects of PEG 6000 priming on germination performance of aged wheat seed lots have been studied. A correct application of osmopriming treatment indicated a relationship between the pattern of water absorption, the reactivation of mitotic activity and the start and synchronization of germination. The possibility of controlling pregerminative events by means of this treatment is discussed on the physiological basis of seed germination.
