Germplasm conservation strongly depends on the desiccation tolerance (DT) of seeds.
Xerophytic seeds have strong desiccation resistance, which makes them excellent models to …

Drought stress limits crop productivity in many regions of the world. Methyl jasmonate
(MeJA) a plant growth regulator is involved in many plant growth and developmental …

Reinduction of desiccation tolerance in orthodox germinated seeds is one of the most
applied tools to understand the mechanisms linked to this process. This work is aimed at …

This study highlights the regulatory function of ROS and its detoxifying enzymes during the

Several studies have successfully used polyethylene glycol (PEG) and/or abscisic acid
(ABA) to reinduce desiccation tolerance in germinated seeds of orthodox species, improving …

The aim of the present work was to investigate the mechanism of loss and re-establishment
of desiccation tolerance (DT) in germinated Pisum sativum seeds (seedlings). Dehydration …

Direct seeding is a technology that reduces the costs of forest restoration projects and favors
