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 …

Photosynthesis is a process that has got immense importance due to its unique role in
sustaining life on earth. Exposure to various biotic and abiotic stresses adversely affects the …

The present study is the first attempt to demonstrate the beneficiary effects of seed priming
with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in wheat cultivar H–I 1544. Wheat seeds primed …

A majority of agricultural activities are conducted under fragile lands or set-up. The growth
and development of crops are negatively affected due to several biotic and abiotic stresses …

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 …

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment which leads to a physiological state that enables
seed to germinate more efficiently. The majority of seed treatments are based on seed …

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

Application of nanotechnology in agriculture is moving towards to improve the cultivation
and growth of crop plants. The present study is the first attempt to propose a simple, yet cost …

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that partially hydrates seeds without allowing radicle
emergence. Consequently, primed seeds are equipped with advanced germination and …

Brassica genus includes several agronomically important brassica species, and their yield
performance is being affected by salt stress. Salt stress considerably reduces Brassica …
