TL;DR
Melatonin seed priming effectively enhances tomato seedling tolerance to heavy metal and drought-related stresses by strengthening antioxidant capacity and regulating stress-responsive genes, thereby supporting improved early-stage plant establishment under adverse environmental conditions.
Drought is a significant abiotic stress that adversely affects rice productivity in Kerala by reducing water potential and disrupting physiological processes. This study was conducted at the Department of Seed Science and Technology, College of Agriculture, Vellanikkara, to evaluate the efficacy of seed priming in impr...
Seed priming mitigates the negative effects of seed deterioration and abiotic stresses by increasing vigor with enhanced germination rate and percentage, as well as seedling growth. This study aimed to enhance the post-storage vitality of sesame by seed priming techniques and alleviate the detrimental effects of sa...
Background: The study aimed to characterize the effects of seed priming with phytohormones and polyamines on root morphological architecture and root biochemical activities in maize seedlings under water deficit stress during early growth stages. Drought stress is one of the most critical abiotic constraints affecting...
Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a major environmental constraint affecting crop productivity and food safety. The present study evaluated the response of different tomato varieties to Cd stress under controlled conditions by assessing germination traits, seedling growth, and biomass accumulation. The results revealed tha...
Drought stress is a major abiotic factor that negatively affects plant growth, physiological processes, and yield in pepper cultivation. This study evaluated the ameliorative effects of exogenous glutathione (GSH) at 50 µM and 100 µM in pepper seedlings grown under water-restricted conditions (60% field capacity), usin...
