Seed priming to alleviate salinity stress in germinating seeds
EA Ibrahim - Journal of plant physiology, 2016 - Elsevier
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop production in arid and semiarid
areas. Seed germination and seedling growth are the stages most sensitive to salinity. Salt …
