COMMENTS
This sequence is part of the two-dimensional array of sequences based on this same idea for any two different bases b, c > 1. Sequence A235265 and A235266 are the most elementary ones in this list. Sequences A089971, A089981 and A090707 through A090721, and sequences A065720 - A065727, follow the same idea with one base equal to 10.
For further motivation and cross-references, see sequence A235265 which is the main entry for this whole family of sequences.
Since all digits of the base 9 expansion are less than 3, this is a subsequence of A037314.

EXAMPLE
Both 17 = 21_9 and 21_3 = 7 are prime.
PROG
(PARI) is(p, b=3, c=9)=vecmax(d=digits(p, c))<b&&isprime(vector(#d, i, b^(#d-i))*d~)&&isprime(p)
(PARI) forprime(p=1, 2e3, is(p, 9, 3)&&print1(vector(#d=digits(p, 3), i, 9^(#d-i))*d~, ", ")) \\ To produce the terms, this is more efficient than to select them using straightforwardly is(.)=is(., 3, 9)
