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 …

About 20% of all irrigated land is adversely affected by salinity hazards and therefore
understanding plant defense mechanisms against salinity will have great impact on plant …

The wastewater from the Razi petrochemical complex contains high levels of salts and
heavy metals. In the present research, the effects of different wastewater dilution levels (0 …

Tomato (Lycoperiscon esculentum) and rice (Oryza sativa) are the two most important
agricultural crops whose productivity is severely impacted by salinity stress. Soil salinity …

Plants that have experienced certain abiotic stress may gain tolerance to a similar stress in
subsequent exposure. This phenomenon, called priming, was observed here in soybean …

Soil salinity significantly decreases the photosynthetic efficiency and plant growth in wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.). However, sensitivity of the photosynthetic electron transport system of …

High salt seriously reduces plant growth in wheat by depressing photosynthetic carbon
assimilation. In this study, wheat plants were firstly primed with nano-ZnO (50 mg L− 1), and …

Being sessile organisms, plants are exposed to multiple stimuli without possibility for
escape. Therefore, plants have evolved to be able to adapt their developmental and …

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of salt stress on the
photosynthetic electron transport chain using two chickpea lines (Cicer arietinum L.) differing …

As peanuts are sensitive to salinity, physiological and agronomic responses to mulching and
varied potassium rates were explored to boost peanut yield. During 2013–14 and 2014–15 …
