TLDR
The results showed that seed germination, seedling growth, total soluble protein, sugar and starch contents significantly improved by seed priming with HA especially under high nano-ZnO stress (500 and 750 mg L−1) as compared to unprimed seeds, and HA priming reduced obviously H2O2, O2·−, antioxidant enzymes activities and malondialdehyde content of rice seedlings under stress.
