   To study of priming effect on characteristics of germination in corn seedling, an experiment was done based on CRD  with three replications in the farm research of Qaemshahr Islamic Azad University in 2010. Treatments were considered as polyethylene glycol (PEG) with densities 5 and 10 percent, potassium nitrate (KNo3) with densities 1 and 2 percent, potassium chloride (KC1) with densities 2 and 4 percent, water and control (without prime). The results showed that the maximum germination rate for polyethylene glycol prime solution obtained with potassium nitrate with densities 10 and 1 percent and hydro priming (water) and maximum rootlet length and germination average obtained for control and potassium nitrate 1 percent. The maximum length of rootlet to prime obtained with potassium nitrate 1 percent and lowest rootlet length and stems to prime potassium nitrate and potassium chloride with densities 2 and 4 percent. The maximum germination rate index, mean daily germination and mean time to germinate obtained priming with potassium nitrate and potassium chloride with densities 2 and 4 percent and highest dry weight of rootlet to stem obtained priming potassium chloride with 4 percent. The highest wet weight rate of rootlet to stem obtained priming potassium chloride with densities 4 percent and minimum vigor ii index obtained with primed product by potassium nitrate and potassium chloride with densities 2 and 4 percent.

    In order to study the priming effect on germination and seedling characteristics of a single cross corn (SC­704), an experiment was carried out as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center, Mazandaran province (Sari) in 2010. Treatments included seed priming with poly ethylene glycol (PEG) at concentration of 10­%, potassium nitrate (KNO3) 0.5­%, potassium chloride (KCl) 2­%, normal water and a control (no priming). The results showed that the maximum germination rate was occurred for a  pretreatment with poly ethylene glycol 10­% and hydropriming (water). The lowest shoot wet weight and germination rate was obtained for osmopriming of potassium chloride 2­%. Maximum germination rate index, average germination time and mean daily germination was observed in the control and osmopriming with KCl 2­% and the highest ratio of dry weight R/S was obtained in potassium chloride 2­% pretreatment. Also the weighted index of seedling vigor was obtained by seed pretreatment with polyethylene glycol 10­%. In conclusion, the results of this study revealed that priming procedure improved seed germination of corn hybrid SC­704 and increased seed emergence rate could eventually increase its performance. According to the results, priming by polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) 10­% and hydropriming (pure water) for 24 hours is recommended. Manuscript profile
