In order to elucidate the GA3-priming-induced physiochemical changes responsible for
induction of salt tolerance in wheat, the primed and non-primed seeds of two spring wheat …

Saline water occupies 71% of the Earth area. It is thought that even a quarter of the whole
pedosphere is affected by salts (Glenn and O'Leary, 1985), amounting to 950 x 106 ha …

Cytokinins are often considered abscisic acid (ABA) antagonists and auxins
antagonists/synergists in various processes in plants. Seed enhancement (seed priming) …

Cultivating new crop cultivars with multiple abiotic stress tolerances is important for crop
production. The abscisic acid‐stress‐ripening (ASR) protein has been shown to confer …

Seed priming was documented to effectively enhance crop performance with ultimate better
yield under a wide range of environmental conditions. The current meta-analysis …

A growth chamber experiment was conducted to assess the effect of salinity on emergence,
growth, water status, photosynthetic pigments, osmolyte accumulation, and ionic content of …

The exogenous application of cytokinins through seed pre-treatment is reported to be
involved in plant tolerance to salt stress. It was hypothesized that cytokinins could regulate …

Soil salinity is an increasing problem for agricultural production worldwide. Plant growth
regulator (PGR)-treated seeds have the potential to produce plants with a greater salt …

Screening of wheat genotypes as salt tolerance through seed germination and early
seedling growth is crucial for their evaluation. Seeds of 20 wheat genotypes were …

The effects of presowing seed treatment with different concentrations of cytokinins (kinetin
and benzylaminopurine; 100, 150, and 200 mg/L) on growth, photosynthetic capacity, and …
