Plants are often exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy
metals that induce complex responses, which result in reduced growth as well as crop yield …

Key message The potential of seed priming is still not fully exploited. Our limited knowledge
of the molecular dynamics of seed pre-germinative metabolism is the main hindrance to …

Plants are exposed to any number of potentially adverse environmental conditions such as
water deficit, high salinity, extreme temperature, submergence, etc. These abiotic stresses …

Abiotic stress is a major threat to the farming community, biasing the crop productivity in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. The seed is an important component of agriculture …

Vegetable crops benefit from seed priming technology by their low volume and high value.
Early sowing of vegetables under suboptimal environments is practised often to fetch better …

Plants under natural conditions often face multiple environmental constraints in terms of
submergence, temperature extremes, salinity, and drought stress. Plant growth and …

Salinity is one of the most brutal environmental factors limiting the productivity of crops and
cultivation of salt-tolerant plants has been suggested as one of the strategies for reducing …

Seed is an important component of agriculture, contributing significantly to the booming
production of food and feed crops across the different agro-ecological regions of the world …

The investigation was carried out to study the effect of halopriming on NaCl and
polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG-6000) induced stress tolerance potential of three Vigna …

Soil salinization is one of the most critical environmental factors affecting crop yield. It is
estimated that 20% of cultivated land and 33% of irrigated agricultural land are affected by …
