Osmoprimed leek seeds dried back whilst still in the desiccationtolerant state retain most of the benefits conferred by priming treatments.
Leek illustrates these four approaches with reference to work on various birth defects.
Leek seeds from the low-vigour seed lot were also germinated for 6 days without prior osmopriming.
These continued to be synthesized, at lower levels in leek embryo tissue upon germination after priming.
Two additional polypeptides were found in leek embryos that were synthesized at higher levels at the end of priming than during germination alone.
The leeks duly repeated on us for the whole weekend.
From time to time he even carries a leek about with him.
I imagine, considering the present price of leeks, that a man with an acre of leeks might have made £5,000, neglecting everything else.
