“…Positive effect of Zn-priming on grain yield and grain nutritional quality was also shown in common bean (Tabesh et al, 2020). Hassan et al (2019) also showed that wheat seed priming with 0.01 M zinc sulphate water solution increased straw and grain Zn level, and the same treatment improved the stand establishment, seedling growth, chlorophyll content, morphological and yield parameters, grain yield and seed Zn concentrations in mungbean (Haider et al, 2020a;Haider et al, 2020b).…”

Highlights Seed priming with Zn resulted in an average increase of maize grain yield by about 18% compared to control, and by about 8.4 % compared to water priming. Zn-priming promoted plant growth and increased final plant height of three maize hybrids. Overall experiment plant growth parameters were correlated with grain yield components and grain yield Overall effect of seed priming on grain Zn concentration was significant, but it was increased by Zn-priming in two hybrids. Using the seeds with elevated Zn content can improve overall field performance of maize grown on calcareous chernozem. Abstract Delivery of micronutrients to plants through seed priming improves seedling vigour and increase crops yields. Two-year filed trial was conducted in Pančevo, Serbia, with aim to study the effect of seed priming with zinc (Zn) on field performance of three maize hybrids on calcareous chernozem deficient in plant available Zn. Seed priming treatments were: control (without priming), water priming and priming with 4 mM zinc sulphate water solution . Seed priming had significant effect on early plant growth, plant height, yield components, grain yield and grain Zn concentration. Zn-priming promoted plant growth and increased final plant height. Across two growing seasons with contrasting precipitation and three tested maize hybrids, Zn-priming resulted in an average increase of grain yield by about 18% compared to control, and by about 8.4 % compared to water priming. A significant relationship between plant growth parameters, grain yield components and grain yield was detected. Grain Zn concentration was increased by Zn-priming in two hybrids in the season with less precipitation and in one hybrid in the second season.. The results imply that using the seeds with elevated Zn content can improve overall field performance of maize grown on calcareous chernozem.

“…The response to treatment was more variable in plants cultivated in 2016 than 2015, with increases in FRM of 100 and 70 g, respectively, when plants were grown at 10 mg mL -1 as compared to the control plants (Figure 1a). In addition, under these treatment conditions, Zn priming also increased DRM approximately 82 and 32% for 2016 and 2015, respectively (Figure 1b), highlighting Zn as a constituent of cellular structure and its involvement in the activation of numerous enzymes involved in stress tolerance and synthesis of carbohydrates and proteins (BROADLEY et al, 2012), which directly affect biomass production (BARRAMEDA-MEDINA et al, 2017;HASSAN et al, 2019).…”

“…Periods of 16 and 20 h presented similar results for this parameter, reaching a high value of 277 g plant -1 at 16 h and 175 g plant -1 at 20 h in 2015 and 2016, respectively (Figure 2), indicating that 16 h presented the most efficient treatment for increasing FRM, even though it did not biofortify the roots. The efficiency of seed priming might be affected by different ambient factors (FAROOQ; WAHID; SIDDIQUE, 2012) such as duration of priming treatment and the crop species studied (MUNAWAR et al, 2013;HASSAN et al, 2019). In addition to its participation in many metabolic processes that promote growth in plants, Zn is an essential element involved in the biosynthesis of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor of indol-3-acetic acid, a hormone that regulates plant growth (TAIZ et al, 2017).…”

“…The priming of seeds in solutions enriched with inorganic salts has been used in several agricultural crops to improve germination, emergence, and initial establishment of seedlings in regions with unfavourable environmental conditions (MUNAWAR et al, 2013;HASSAN et al, 2019). This technique may also contribute to the increase in the quality of agricultural products because it can increase nutrient concentrations in the edible parts of plants (FAROOQ;WAHID;SIDDIQUE, 2012;CARMONA et al, 2019).…”

Agronomic Biofortification of Beet Plants With Zinc via Seed Priming1

One-fifth of the world's population consumes too little zinc (Zn) causing deficiencies that can damage cells, stunt growth, and decrease immune response. This study evaluated the effect of time on the priming of beet seeds, in solutions enriched with Zn, on physiology, growth, production, and root biofortification. Two greenhouse experiments were conducted during spring 2015 and autumn 2016. In each experiment, 24 treatments were tested which comprised various combinations of three Zn concentrations (0, 10, and 30 mg mL-1), two Zn sources (sulphate and chloride), and four time periods (12, 16, 20, and 24 h), arranged in a randomised block design with four replicates. The concentration of Zn, mainly as sulphate, affected all parameters evaluated in the beet plants, such as fresh and dry root mass, photosynthesis, and root Zn concentration (biofortification). Compared to the control, fresh root mass increased 70 and 100 g per plant with 10 mg mL-1 of Zn during the experiments in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The same concentration for 16 h produced the highest Zn concentration in the roots, achieving 121 and 42 mg kg-1 in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Priming seeds in solutions enriched with Zn, thus, benefited the physiological response of the beet plants by promoting increases in growth, production, and biofortification of beet roots. Therefore, this method can be used to biofortify beet plants agronomically, regardless of the Zn source.

“…Zinc is an important nutrient for all living organisms (Wieners et al, 2019). It is involved in many physiological functions within plants (Hassan et al, 2019 andManaf et al, 2019); in spite of that Zn availability seemed to be relatively low (Elshony et al, 2019;Manaf et al, 2019;Pawlowski et al, 2019) especially in calcareous and sandy soils (Abbas, 2013 andHafeez et al, 2013). Its deficiency may cause retardation of plant growth and development (Aman et al, 2020).…”

A PPLYING Zn as soil fertilizers might undergo precipitation in presence of phosphate fertilizers; alternatively, this nutrient may be amended through foliar application. Specifically, we hypothesized that the effect of Zn foliar application is quite enough to overcome Zn deficiency beside its synergetic effect on P uptake. To test this hypothesis, a field study was conducted in a split-plot design where Zn-sources, i.e. ZnSO 4 , Zn-EDTA and ZnO-nano-particles (ZnO-NP) were plotted in main plots while their rates of application (0, 5, 10 and 15 mg L -1 ) were schemed in sub-plots. Results obtained herein indicate that these three fertilizers not only improved significantly concentrations of both P and Zn in maize during V14-fouteenth leaf and physiological maturity growth stages but also increased significantly the available contents of these nutrients in soil, especially with increasing the level of foliar application. Moreover, these fertilizers improved significantly plant height during the abovementioned growth stages and raised grain yield and 100-grain weight. The efficiency of these fertilizers could be arranged as follows: ZnO-NP> Zn-EDTA> ZnSO 4 . In conclusion, Zn foliar application especially in the nano form recorded a synergic effect on P availability and uptake; consequently these applications increased maize production as just mentioned with superiority for ZnO-NP; however, further studies are needed to investigate the residual effects of these nano-particles within the edible plant parts.
