N2  - Seed  priming  was  used  in  barley  to  increase  seed  germination  and  tolerance  on  stress exposure. Barley seeds were treated with PEG (Polyethylene 6000 mw). After 7 days our results  showed  that,  seed  priming  treatments  significantly  (p≤  0.01)  affected  germination percentage, normality seedling percentage, and germination index. Seed priming with PEG increased  germination  characteristics  as  the  compared  to  the  unprimed.  Also,  priming increased catalase as compared to the unprimed seeds. Therefore, the highest germination characteristics and catalase activity were attained from priming with PEG.
