Transcriptome analysis in primed tomato seeds with enhanced longevity by heat shock treatment
Seed priming is widely used in commercial seeds and its main function is to accelerate and synchronize seed germination. However, primed seeds show reduced longevity. Heat shock treatment has been used to improve longevity in primed seeds, but the effect of the heat shock treatment on primed seeds at the mRNA level is not known. Thus, the aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the heat shock treatment on primed tomato seeds at the physiological and transcriptome levels in seeds of Solanum lycopersicum.
