Effect of hydropriming on seed germination parameters in different accessions ofWithania somnifera (original) (raw)

Medicinal Plants - International Journal of Phytomedicines and Related Industries, 2016

Abstract

Withania somnifera, commonly known as ashwagandha, is a commercially cultivated medicinal plant species having a consistent demand in pharmaceutical industries. Although propagated through seeds, there is always a scope for enhancement of seed germination capacity either through selection of accessions that have natural high seed germination rate or through some physiological interventions. We have examined the influence of hydropriming treatment on seed germination parameters that have revealed a positive correlation between hydropriming and higher germination rates.
