UV-C Priming Enhances Water Stress Tolerance in Broccoli (Brassica Oleracea, L.) and Its Germination Rate
Germination of broccoli seeds exposed to UV-C radiation (priming) for a 30-minute period and tolerance to water stress was evaluated. These findings suggest that the adverse effect of drought on the germination rate can be circumvented by seeds primed with a UV-C radiation at a wavelength of 254 nm during 30 min.
