In the present investigation rice genotype HUR 105 was selected to see the effect of seed priming on antioxidant enzymes activity and biochemical changes of rice under timely and late sown conditions. Priming of seeds has been done with distilled water (hydro), Mg(NO3)2 salt (halo) and kinetin (T3), salicylic acid (hormonal) and different biochemical parameters, such as SOD and nitrate reductase activity, proline content, ascorbate peroxidise activity and protein content were studied at different study periods with respect to two sowing conditions, representing timely and late sowing of rice crop. Priming of seeds was found to improve all the biochemical parameters over non-primed (control) sets in timely as well as in late sown conditions. The work therefore presents the late sown stress ameliorating role of seed priming in rice genotype.
