Wheat constitutes pivotal position for ensuring food and nutritional security; however, rapidly
rising soil and water salinity pose a serious threat to its production globally. Salinity stress …

Maize is grown under a wide spectrum of soil and climatic conditions. Maize is moderately
sensitive to salt stress; therefore, soil salinity is a serious threat to its production worldwide …

Salinity is affecting a large area of Pakistan. The country is situated in a semiarid and arid
region where the climate is subtropical continental and the process of salinization and …

Salinity is one of the important stresses resulting in the reduction of growth and yield of
different crops including wheat. In saline soils the concentration of Na+ and Cl-is higher …

Salinity stress (SS) is major abiotic stress that is seriously limiting crop production across the

ABSTRACT A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) and
iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles on the growth of two maize cultivars under the saline …

Although some investigations show that 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) participates in plant
stress tolerance, the role of nitric oxide (NO) in ALA-induced improvement in tolerance to salt …

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the most abundant salt that contributes to soil salinity. The
response of plants to excess NaCl is complex, involving changes in their morphology …

Despite the considerable efforts reported so far to enhance seed priming, novel ideas are
still needed to be suggested to this sustainable sector of agri-seed industry. This could be …

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of two maize hybrids to external K
application under saline field conditions (ECe 5.71-8.91 dS m-1). The data showed that …
