“…These results indi-cated that 1-day soaking treatment was the most optimal treatment to enhance the rate of germination. These are similar to the results of Esmaeilpour & Van Damme (2016) that reported a 1-day (24 h) hydropriming pre-treatment increased the percentage of germination in pistachio seeds compared to 1, 6, and 12 h duration. This could be due to hydropriming treatment that triggered reactivation of the metabolic system, leading to the rehydration of proteins, enzymes, and cellular organelles in the seed Arun et al (2013).…”

“…burmannicoides decreased. It might be caused by bacterial decay of the embryo prior to germination, and inadequate duration with too long soaking period resulting in inactivation of the enzyme that facilitating the germination (Esmaeilpour & Van Damme, 2016). On the other hand, this result is in contrast to a previous study in Eryngium foetidum that the percentage of germination increased along with the length of the soaking period (Mozumder & Hossain, 2013).…”

“…Treatment of seeds priming by soaking seeds in water (hydropriming) and other chemical compounds (osmopriming) for a particular time potentially increases the ability of wild banana seeds to germinate. Seeds priming has been tested in several plants, such as lychees (Zhang et al, 2015), culantro Eryngium foetidum (Mozumder & Hossain, 2013), tomatoes (Sabongari & Aliero, 2004), and pistachios (Esmaeilpour & Van Damme, 2016). The success of seed priming in increasing germination is influenced by several factors such as the type of priming, concentration of the chemical compound, imbibition time, and the variety of species (Pawar & Laware, 2018).…”

Wild bananas are believed to have genes for resistance to biotic and abiotic stress in nature, making them potential genetic resources for creating superior varieties. Wild banana seeds, such as Musa acuminata var. tomentosa are generally difficult to germinate in vivo, so that in vitro embryo culture technique is needed. This study aimed to increase embryo germination and regeneration of wild banana M. acuminata var. tomentosa by soaking the seeds as hydropriming. The treatment comprised of soaking the seeds in sterile distilled water for four periods of time: 0 (control), 1, 4, and 7 days. A total of 45 embryos for each treatment were planted on petri dishes containing MS + 0.5 mg/L BA + 1 mg/L biotin + 1 mg/L proline. The results showed that hydropriming increased the rate of embryo germination and regeneration. Seeds soaked for 1, 4, and 7 days successfully resulted in embryo germination percentages of 87%, 62%, and 62%, respectively, while the control unsoaked seeds germinated with a lower percentage of 42%. One-day soaking treatment was the most optimal treatment to increase the rate of germination and regeneration as well as obtained the best vigor as demonstrated by the highest average height of plantlets, number of leaves, and roots than other treatments. Thus, 1-day seed hydropriming is the best treatment for embryo rescue and regeneration of wild banana M. acuminata var. tomentosa

“…The long priming duration was prone to imbibition injury (Monalisa et al, 2017). In contrast, 12 hours of priming duration signi cantly reduce the mean germination time in "Badami" pistachio (Esmaeilpour and Van Damme, 2016). Coe cient of germination velocity in 12 hours priming duration signi cantly higher than 6 hours one.…”

Basella rubra L. is a type of spinach, which is edible with high nutrient composition. It is also known to be an antioxidant. However, initial germination and root growth remain an issue due to hard exterior seed coating. Thus, some may germinate within 10 to 21 days, and some may not work at all. Inhibited growth may lead to vegetative propagation and micropropagation, which fundamentally reduce the growth and yield. Basella seed treated with Bokashi leachate was found to improve seed germination and root growth. A study was conducted using food waste EM Bokashi leachate (0:1, 1:1500, 1:1000, 1:500) with biopriming duration (6 and 12 hours). The experiment was conducted in a completely random design (CRD) with 3 replications of 100 seeds, with 24 experimental units. Based on the results, a short biopriming duration (6 hours) significantly enhanced the mean germination rate, germination speed accumulated, and coefficient of germination velocity. However, germination percentage had no significant improvement by leachate. Long priming duration significantly reduced the root development due to the seed may loss of desiccation tolerance. The concentration of leachate and priming duration had no significant interaction. In order to improve the germination and root growth performance, 6 hours of seeds priming duration or 1:500 (0.2%) of food waste Bokashi leachate was recommended to soak the Basella rubra seeds.

“…The minimum period between the first germination and the last germination was 16 days in Korhogo (seeder 1), 8 days (seeder 6) in Daloa and 7 days (seeder 3) in a controlled environment. These germination times are short despite the fact that the seeds have not been treated beforehand as was the case with Pterocarpus erinaceus [54], Parkia biglobosa [72], Pistacia vera [73], Albizzia lebbek, Albizzia procera, Peltophorum pterocarpum and Acacia auriculiformis and Leucaena leucocephala [74]. As for the germination rate, it was higher with seeds from seed tree 6 (100%) and lower with seeds from seed tree 2 (58%) in Korhogo; in Daloa this rate was high for seed tree 6 (95%) and lower for seed tree 4 (63.33%) and in the greenhouse it was higher for seed trees 3 (100%) and 6 (100%) and lower for seed tree 1 (50%).…”

Khaya senegalensis is one of the largest and most majestic trees in Africa. Overexploited for its precious wood and medicinal values, the natural stands of this species are in danger of extinction in Côte d'Ivoire. Its sustainable management through regeneration techniques and assessment of its degree of adaptation to the changing climate is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different environments on seedling germination and development in Khaya senegalensis. A total of 2160 seeds from different mother plants and 540 individuals from seed germination were selected and evaluated. The trials were conducted on three sites that were distinct by their microclimate (two nurseries in Côte d'Ivoire and one greenhouse in France). Analysis of variance showed that germination and morphology parameters were not influenced by the characteristics of the mother plants used (p > 0.05), but rather by the study sites (P < 0.05). The stable and controlled greenhouse climate was more advantageous for latency time (12.66 ± 0.80 days), germination delay (16.96 96 ± 0.54 days), germination speed (19.66 ± 2.95 days), germination duration (10.83 ± 2.27 days) and germination rate (88.88 ± 7.97) with more vigorous sowing than the other two sites. The results showed in general that the higher the height of the seedlings, the thicker the diameter of the seedlings (r = 0.796) and the higher the number of leaves (r = 0.946). This savannah species is native to the arid zones of Africa, but this study highlighted its adaptive potential to changing and different climates. These results are decision support tools for the regeneration of native pioneer forest species with high agroforestry potential and socioeconomic impor
