The effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs), as a salinity stress modifier, was investigated on
plant growth and antioxidant systems in Dracocephalum moldavica L. The results showed …

Engineered nanomaterials interfaced with plant seeds can improve stress tolerance during
the vulnerable seedling stage. Herein, we investigated how priming seeds with antioxidant …

Selenium (Se) is an important micronutrient for living organisms, since it is involved in
several physiological and metabolic processes. Se intake in humans is often low and very …

Seed priming with silicon (Si) is an efficient and easy method to regulate plant tolerance
