Salinization is one of the greatest threats in agriculture field limiting the growth and
productivity of crops. Soil salinization directly affects the physiological, biochemical, and …

Key message The potential of seed priming is still not fully exploited. Our limited knowledge
of the molecular dynamics of seed pre-germinative metabolism is the main hindrance to …

In recent years, non-thermal plasma (NTP) application in agriculture is rapidly increasing.
Many published articles and reviews in the literature are focus on the post-harvest use of …

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 …

The critical stages during the growth of crops are the uniform seed germination, early
seedling growth, and uniform plant stand. Low crop yield is attributed to uneven seed …

In plants, radiation hormesis phenomenon occurs as enhanced growth, accelerated
development, increased tolerance to stressors, or accumulation of compounds of interest in …

Abiotic and biotic stresses hamper our agricultural productivity by reducing crop growth,
leading to food crises all over the globe. At present, the main objective of environmentalists …

Vegetable crops benefit from seed priming technology by their low volume and high value.
Early sowing of vegetables under suboptimal environments is practised often to fetch better …

The effects of low-dose radiation are being increasingly investigated in biological,
epidemiological, and clinical studies. Many recent studies have indicated the beneficial …

Among the innovative technologies being elaborated for sustainable agriculture, one of the
most rapidly develo** fields relies on the positive effects of non-thermal plasma (NTP) …
