The second volume of this book presents a focused reference on biological, molecular, and nutrient‑based approaches to seed priming. It brings together current knowledge on living organisms and natural compounds used as priming agents and places them in an applied agricultural context. The book emphasizes biological inputs as practical tools for improving seed performance and early crop establishment, with attention to sustainability and resource efficiency.
The chapters begin with the basics of seed priming to set a common foundation, followed by sections on beneficial bacterial priming using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. The content then moves to fungal priming, including yeast and mycorrhiza, and cyanobacterial priming, before addressing microbial consortia as combined biological systems.
This book serves as a useful reading resource for postgraduate students, researchers, teachers, and professionals in plant sciences, microbiology, agronomy, and sustainable agriculture.
