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 …

The significance of priming in enhancing abiotic stress tolerance is well‐established in
several important crops. Priming positively impacts plant growth and improves stress …

Cold is a major stressor, which limits plant growth and development in many parts of the
world, especially in the temperate climate zones. A large number of experimental studies …

Seed germination is a critical parameter for the successful development of sustainable
agricultural practices. While seed germination is impaired by environmental constraints …

Background The whole life of a plant is regulated by complex environmental or hormonal
signaling networks that control genomic stability, environmental signal transduction, and …

Plant-based biostimulants (PBs), agents rich in bioactive compounds, are emerging as key
players able to sustainably improve plant growth and crop productivity to address food …

In this study Cu-chitosan nanoparticles (Cu-CNP) have been employed as eco-friendly and
safer priming agents to induce salt and PEG-induced hyperosmotic stress tolerance in wheat …

Seed priming, a pre-sowing technique that enhances the antioxidant/DNA repair activities
during the pre-germinative metabolism, still retains empirical features. We explore for the …

Seeds are the mode of propagation for most plant species and form the basis of both
agriculture and ecosystems. Desiccation tolerant seeds, representative of most crop species …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) incessantly produced
as by-products of metabolism play significant roles in seed physiology. ROS (hydroxyl …
