What are the differences between seed coating and seed priming?

Cramer Beasly  Follow

Seed priming is also done as one of the agronomic management strategy to overcome heat stress by soaking seeds in osmotic solution for several days at moderate temperature and then allowed to dry which prevents radicle emergence.

Seed priming is the process of controlled hydration of seeds to a level that permits pre-germinative metabolic activity to proceed, but prevents actual emergence of the radicle.
After priming, the seeds were removed from the solutions and shade dry to bring back its original moisture content.

Seed coating is the practice of covering seeds with external materials to improve handling, protection, and, to a lesser extent, germination enhancement and plant establishment.Here, we analyse the science and industry of seed coating and its contribution to seed establishment and plant performance.
The priming process regulates the seed's temperature and moisture content, bringing the seed closer to the point of germination. The process involves advancing the seed to an equal stage of the germination process, to enable fast and uniform emergence when planted.
Seed priming is an old experimental tactic employed by farmers since eras to enhance germination activities in crop plants. Biopriming of seeds with microorganisms not only improve the growth and development of plants by regulating several biochemical and physiological processes but also impart stress tolerance and resistance mechanisms in plants.
Types of priming:
1. Hydropriming
2. Osmopriming
3. Halopriming
4. Matrixpriming
5. Nanopriming
6. Biopriming

hello
for more about priming  refer to my paper entitled "Mohajeri, F. Taghvaei, M. Ramrudi, M. Galavi, M. 2016. Effect of priming duration and concentration on germination behaviors of (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds. International Journal-Ecology, Environment and conservation. 22(2). 603-609."

Sareh,
Please see my paper in Researchgate: Seed priming

priming is means to interfere in the process of absorbing water and increasing the absorption of water by the seed,  but seed coating is means to add material to the seed Shell to correct the shape of the seed or..........

Hello
  If minerals are placed on the seed shell
  It is said to cover seeds or seed coating and it is a kind of seed enhancement.
