Priming applied to commercial seed lots is widely used by seed technologists to enhance
seed vigour in terms of germination potential and increased stress tolerance. Priming can be …

Plant stress is a major limitation to crop yield. The amelioration of crop environments is
either impossible or costly. The breeding of crop varieties resistant to environmental stress is …

The application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to agro-ecosystems is
considered to have the potential for improving plant growth in extreme environments …

The agricultural crops are often affected by the scarcity of fresh water. Seasonal drought is a
major constraint on Northeast Indian agriculture. Almost 80% of the agricultural land in this …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses that affects crop yield worldwide. An eco-friendly
tool that can broadly improve plants' tolerance to water stress is bioionocula comprising …

Key message A detailed study of the response of wheat plants, inoculated with drought-
tolerant PGPR is studied which would be beneficial to achieve genetic improvement of …

This publication opens with the inevitable introduction, moves on to the present traditional
approach to breeding for yield stability, and then enumerates a detailed discussion of the …

The treated seeds (control, KNO3 and hydropriming) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
cultivar Sanbro were evaluated at germination and seedling growth for tolerance to salt …

Production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) can be used as a criteria for the isolation of stress
tolerant microorganisms. In the present study, EPS-producing fluorescent pseudomonads …

Published and additional data for polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG), formerly PEG 6000,
