In this study, hydration (priming with PEG 8000 and humidification) treatments were carried out in seeds of onion cultivars 'Akgun-12', 'Valencia', 'TEG-502' and 'Contes' (having approximately 80% viability) in order to investigate their effects on germination rate, mean germination time (MGT), total lipid, total protein, soluble protein and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and catalase activity.
