There is increasing difficulty in identifying new plant leaf diseases as a result of
environmental change. There is a need to identify the factors influencing the emergence and …

Plants can be primed to respond faster and more strongly to stress and multiple pathways,
specific for the encountered challenge, are involved in priming. This adaptability of priming …

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment which leads to a physiological state that enables
seed to germinate more efficiently. The majority of seed treatments are based on seed …

Seed priming is a pre‐germination treatment administered through various chemical,
physical and biological agents, which induce mild stress during the early phases of …

Plants have evolved adaptive strategies to cope with pathogen infections that seriously
threaten plant viability and crop productivity. Upon the perception of invading pathogens, the …

Abstract β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) has been known as an inducer of disease-resistance
since 1963, however, only in the recent two decades an increasing number of reports have …

Seed priming is controlled hydration of seeds to a level that allow pre-germinative metabolic
activity to continue, but interrupt the emergence of the radicle. Seed priming improves seed …

The pre-germinative metabolism is among the most fascinating aspects of seed biology. The
early seed germination phase, or pre-germination, is characterized by rapid water uptake …

Rise in temperature beyond threshold level that causes irreversible damage in plants is heat
stress while heat stress during reproductive or grain filling period is regarded as terminal …

Colombia is the main producer of carnations worldwide. However, its production is affected
by vascular wilting caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp dianthi (Fod). Previous studies have …
