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 …

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 …

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] seed germination is sensitive to salinity, and seed
priming is an effective method for alleviating the negative effects of salt stress on seed …

The emerging concept, that agricultural crops become more hardy on exposure to low levels
of UV radiation, has directed the thoughts towards utilizing the same for priming the …

Drought stress poses a serious challenge to sustainable production of agricultural crops
necessitating the adoption of proper technique to minimize the harmful effect of this abiotic …

Seed germination is the stage in which plants are most sensitive to abiotic stress, including
