Mitigation of nickel stress in Abelmoschus esculentus L. through citric acid seed priming.
Nickel (Ni) contamination of agricultural soils is an important threat to crop productivity and food safety because of its persistence and phytotoxicity. The present study assessed the possibility of citric acid (CA) seed priming as a strategy to mitigate Ni-induced stress in Abelmoschus esculentus L. A pot trial was c...
