Maize world’s consumption World’s production 767 million tons (FAO-STAT, 2007-2008) Bio-fuel Asia: increased meat consumption Feed demand 50% by 2030 Source: United Nations, OECD-FAO Agricultural Extension’10
Maize production barriers -Climate stress: Water, heat, salt -Limited land • Technology input • Chemicals • Fertilizers • New variety targets High Seed quality Agricultural Extension’10
Seed Quality Enhancements Hydropriming Increased germination Reduced emergence time Increased yield Tolerance • Maize (Harris, 2003; Murungu et al., 2004) Reduced emergence time Hydropriming Increased yield • Rice Tolerance (Farooq et al., 2009) 4 Agricultural Extension’10

The effect of priming Priming Increased seed vigour Priming conditions and seed species Decreased seed vigour
Proper priming treatments Suitable Time and Temp. Biochemical reaction Lipid peroxidation Respiration Synthesis; Proteins, DNA,RNA Enhanced antioxidant Enzymes Non-enzymes Protein peroxidation Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS); O2-, H2O2, OH- Repair; protein,DNA, RNA, membrane Membrane degradation DNA damage Increase in seed vigour
Improper priming treatments Unsuitable Time and Temp. Biochemical reaction Lipid peroxidation Soluble carbohydrate High Respiration Synthesis; Proteins, DNA,RNA Protein peroxidation Enhanced antioxidant Enzymes Non-enzymes ROS O2-, H2O2, OH- Repair; protein,DNA, RNA, membrane Membrane degradation DNA damage Decrease in seed vigour
Loss of membrane integrity Decrease in seed vigour RFOs is an important component of membrane H2O RFOs H2O hydrolysis High RH & Temp. Loss of RFOs Agricultural Extension’10

Hydropriming for 18 h Amylose Respiration Amylase Raffinose Sucrose Invertase Glucose Sus ROS Loss of membrane stability Glucose+ amino group Maillardproduct Lipid DNA Protein Decrease in seed vigour 19 Agricultural Extension’10
Conclusions In maize seeds Hydroprimingfor 6 & 12 h suggest to improved seed vigour 2. Hydropriming up to 18 h do not recommend 3. The reduction of primed seed quality mainly relate to loss of raffinose and increase in amylase activity The different seed performance by priming • seed species, seed quality and priming times 20

Hypothesis Respiration Improper priming Proper priming Lipid peroxidation Synthesis; Proteins, DNA,RNA Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Membrane degradation Enhances antioxidants Enzymes Non-enzymes DNA, RNA damage Reversed lipid peroxidation Repair; damaged protein, DNA, RNA, membrane Protein peroxidation Deactivated enzymes High seed vigour Low seed vigour
Conclusions Hydropriming….. Lower seeds vigour Lower seeds vigour The lower seed vigour was more sensitive to hydropriming than the higher seed vigour. 24 Agricultural Extension’10
Conclusions The different seed performance by priming • - seed species • - seed quality • - priming conditions 25 Agricultural Extension’10
