Abstract :The aim of the study is investigate the effects of hidropriming on germination performance of white clover insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Trifolium repens); seedsunder cold stress, optimum temperature and dark condition. The seeds were germinated applying hidropriming with dH2O in different periods insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 48 hours); in dark at 4 oC. The study was applied in according to randomized controlled trials as 4 replications to measure radicular lengths, germination rate and homogeneity parameter in the seeds. The results of the study was indicated that radicle length, germination rate, rate and the homogeneity parameter were positive and statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.001); comparing with control group in short period insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2 and 4 hours);. On the other hand radicle length, germination rate, the homogeneity parameter were found negative and statistically significant when compare with control group in the other periods insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.001);. In addition, this study was discussed possible physiological effects to the priming process implemented with dH2O in hypothermia condition at white clover seeds.
