Nano-priming is an innovative seed priming technology that helps to improve seed
germination, seed growth, and yield by providing resistance to various stresses in plants …

Seed dormancy and germination are two closely linked physiological traits that have great
impacts on adaptation and survival of seed plants. Seed dormancy strengthen and …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …

Seeds are a vital source of calories for humans and a unique stage in the life cycle of
flowering plants. During seed germination, the embryo undergoes major developmental …

Many internal (inherent) and environmental (imposed) factors control seed dormancy and
germination that we divide into three basic dormancy‐release pathways: Maternal structures …

Abiotic and biotic stresses hamper our agricultural productivity by reducing crop growth,
leading to food crises all over the globe. At present, the main objective of environmentalists …

Nanotechnology-driven smart agriculture has been considered as one of the highly potential
approaches in improving crop productivity (Fincheira et al., 2020). Actually, plants serve as a …

Aquaporins (AQPs) regulate the transport of water and other substrates, aiding plants in
adapting to stressful environments. However, the knowledge of AQPs in salt‐secreting and …

Plants live as sessile organisms with large-scale gene duplication events and subsequent
paralogue divergence during evolution. Notably, plant paralogues are expressed tissue …

The cultivation of rice varieties with high seed vigour is vital for the direct seeding of rice, and
the molecular basis of regulation of seed vigour remains elusive. Here, we cloned a new …
