Different seed priming techniques variously modulate pre-germinative metabolism and germination performance in three Capsicum annuum cultivars

Key Points

• Germination performance improved through specific seed priming techniques, indicating varied effects across cultivars.
• Notably, one technique led to a 25% increase in germination speed compared to controls, while others exhibited mixed results.
• Assessment using various seed priming methods highlighted differences in pre-germinative metabolism among cultivars.
• These findings suggest that tailored priming strategies could optimize germination, enhancing agricultural yields in diverse conditions.
