The Effect of Biological and Non-biological Treatments on Seed Germination

Seed germination is a key developmental transition in plant life and therefore extremely essential for plant cultivation (Zhao et al., ۲۰۲۱). The speed, uniformity, and quality of seed germination significantly impact the plant’s subsequent growth and condition. Natural microbial communities associated with the outer space of the seed can enter the seed. Increasing the effectiveness of its hydration shortens the imbibition time, consequently lifting the germination rate (Mahmood et al., ۲۰۱۶). It has already been proved that the biopriming of seeds with various beneficial bacteria, especially PGPB, increases plant resilience and effectiveness under adverse conditions (Pérez-Jaramillo et al., ۲۰۱۶).
