ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate how magneto priming affects germination and seedling development of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Besoztaja). Seeds were surface sterilized with sodium hypochlorite (3 %) and ethanol (80%). Seeds were imbibed in Hoagland’s medium for six hours. After that, different static magnetic field forces (SMFF) (Control: No SMFF; 7.5-SMFF: 7.5 mT SMFF; 15-SMFF: 15 mT SMFF and 22.5-SMFF: 22.5 mT SMFF) were applied to imbibed seeds for one hour. 10 seeds were planted into petri dishes with bi-layered filter paper wetted with Hoagland’s medium to calculate germination rate and Vigor Index. Magneto primed seeds were grown in hydroponic culture for 12 days to obtain physiological data. 15-SMFF application caused significantly increase in germination rate compared to other SMMF applications. Similarly, Vigor Index of 15-SMFF application was significantly higher than other SMFF applications. SMFF applications caused significant changes in shoot and root fresh and dry weights of bread wheat seedlings. On the other hand, shoot and root length and chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids were not affected from SMFF applications. The investigation of the effects of magneto priming on different stress models could be considered as further studies.
