Seed priming is conducted by seed technology companies improve the quality of vegetable seeds including lettuce. Primed lettuce seeds provide alleviated dormancy, fast and uniform germination, followed by sturdy and uniform seedlings to ensure improved primary leafy salad crop production even in stressful environments. In this multi-disciplinary collaboration project between Germains Seed Technology (Norfolk, www.germains.com) and the seed science lab at Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL, Prof G Leubner and Dr T Steinbrecher, www.seedbiology.eu) we will use novel biomaterial engineering technologies, growth imaging and molecular/hormone analytics to provide innovative diagnostic tools which will enable to further improve the lettuce seed priming process. The feasibility and commercial potential of these novel agricultural technologies will be explored with the vision to further improve priming, plantlet raising and primary crop production of leafy salad.

种子引发由种子技术公司进行，以提高包括生菜在内的蔬菜种子的质量。引发的莴苣种子提供缓解的休眠，快速和均匀的发芽，随后是坚固和均匀的幼苗，以确保即使在压力环境下也能提高主要叶菜沙拉作物的产量。在Germains种子技术（诺福克，www.germains.com）和伦敦皇家霍洛威大学种子科学实验室（RHUL，G Leubner教授和T Steinbrecher博士，www.seedbiology.eu）之间的这个多学科合作项目中，我们将使用新的生物材料工程技术，生长成像和分子/激素分析来提供创新的诊断工具，这将有助于进一步改善莴苣种子引发过程。这些新的农业技术的可行性和商业潜力将被探索，以进一步改善叶沙拉的引发，幼苗培育和主要作物生产。
