Abstract
The aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of aging germination and activity of antioxidant enzymes in seeds of Allium cepa L. and Brassica oleracea var capitata with seed priming treatment. In the present paper the different seaweed extract from Ulva lactuca L. (G1), U. reticulata forsskal (G2), Padina pavonica L. (B3), Sargassum johnstonii Setchell & Gardner (B4), Kappaphycus alvarezii (R5) and Gracillaria corticata J. Ag. (R6) was applied as seed priming and performed prior to accelerated ageing treatment with the investigation of activities of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) during accelerated aging. Our result indicates that to enhance germination characteristics in aged seeds with priming treatment also reveals positive effect of seed priming on the germination percentage, vigour index, seedling length and antioxidant activity of enzyme. The highest germination percentage, vigour index, seedling length and enzyme activity were achieved in given priming treatment with aging (12 day of aging) as compared to control condition (0 day of aging).
