Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Seed priming is a presowing technique in which seeds are moderately hydrated to the point
where pregermination metabolic processes begin without actual germination. Seeds are …

Plants grow in dynamic environments where they can be exposed to a multitude of stressful
factors, all of which affect their development, yield, and, ultimately, reproductive success …

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

Rapid seed germination and stand establishment are critical factors to crop production
under salt‐stress conditions. In many crop species, seed germination and early seedling …

The effects of salinity on tomato plant growth and fruit production, the cultural techniques
which can be applied to alleviate the deleterious effects of salt, and the possibilities of …

A history of exposure to a range of different types of stress alters subsequent plant
responses. The process of priming or hardening involves prior exposure to a biotic or an …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

In this paper, a number of strategies to overcome the deleterious effects of salinity on plants
will be reviewed; these strategies include using molecular markers and genetic …

The yield and quality of an annual crop are highly dependent on uniform and rapid
germination of the seeds. In case of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), the germination and …
