The growth of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is very sensitive to salinity, with the most
susceptible genotypes dying in just 25 mm NaCl and resistant genotypes unlikely to survive …

Salinity is a major problem in arid and semi-arid regions, where irrigation is essential for
crop production. Major sources of salinity in these regions are salt-rich irrigation water and …

To investigate the effect and mechanism of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) on the
germination and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), we conducted systematic …

Low temperature stress during germination and early seedling growth is an important
constraint of global production of maize. The effects of seed priming with 0.25%, 0.50%, and …

Accelerated ageing test were made in five chickpea varieties viz., three desi (Pusa 256,
Pusa 212 and BGD 72) and two kabuli (Pusa 267 and K551) with the objective of studying …

A comprehensive study to assess and compare physico-chemical, nutritional and functional
properties of a chickpea germplasm collection was carried out. The collection, composed of …

The plant factory with artificial light (PFAL) is a novel cultivation system of agriculture
technology for crop production under controlled-environment conditions. However, there are …

In this study, the effect of five different levels of salt (NaCl) on the germination of Phaseolus
vulgaris L. seed was investigated. Laboratory experiment with completely randomized …

Understanding the mechanisms of plant tolerance to osmotic and chemical stress is
fundamental to maintaining high crop productivity. Soil drought often occurs in combination …

Physiological and molecular mechanisms of adaptation to abiotic stresses of grass pea
(Lathyrus sativus L.) are still poorly understood. Responses of four genotypes of grass pea …
