Let R be a commutative semiring with identity and M be a unitary R-semimodule. Let 𝜙 : 𝒮(M) → 𝒮(M) ∪ {∅} be a function, where 𝒮(M) is the set of all subsemimodules of M. A proper subsemimodule N of M is called 𝜙-prime subsemimodule, if r ∈ R and x ∈ M with rx ∈ N \𝜙(N) implies that r ∈ (N :_R M) or x ∈ N. So if we take 𝜙(N) = ∅ (resp., 𝜙(N) = {0}), a 𝜙-prime subsemimodule is prime (resp., weakly prime). In this article we study the properties of several generalizations of prime subsemimodules.

In this paper we define prime right ideals of semirings and prove that if every right ideal of a semiring R is prime then R is weakly regular. We also prove that if the set of right ideals of R is totally ordered then every right ideal of R is prime if and only if R is right weakly regular. Moreover in this paper we also define prime subsemimodule (generalizing the concept of prime right ideals) of an R-semimodule. We prove that if a subsemimodule K of an R-semimodule M is prime then $A_K(M)$ is also a prime ideal of R.
