 ABSTRACT

In the present piece of work, rice genotypes HUBR 10-9 and HUR 105 were selected to see the effect of seed priming on germination of rice. Seeds of selected genotypes were primed with six different concentrations of salicylic acid. Some selected parameters like germination percentage, α amylase activity, soluble and insoluble sugar content, nitrate reductase activity and nitrate content were found to improve with priming treatments in respect to non primed control set.It has been observed that 0 .75 mM salicylic acid were found best for the studied parameters except insoluble sugar in respect to other concentrations as well as  non primed control sets in both the varieties.

Key words: α Amylase activity; Nitrate reductase activity; Nitrate content.
