Abiotic stress is a major threat to the farming community, biasing the crop productivity in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. The seed is an important component of agriculture …

Seed vigour is an important quality parameter of seeds quality and plays an important role in
the production of agronomic and horticultural crops. In order to enable the farming …

The aging process induces the deterioration of seed vigor and viability. Priming methods
have been shown to regenerate and rejuvenate aged crop seeds. Several studies have …

Background: Accelerated ageing, which is known to diminish seed viability and vigour in
different seed crops, has been used to predict seed storability. The goal of this study was to …

Plants are regularly exposed to various adverse environmental conditions such as drought,
salinity, chilling, and high temperatures. These abiotic stresses adversely affect the plant …

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of seed priming (halopriming with 25 mM,

The proper establishment of plants is essential for the efficient use of resources such as
water and light. Besides, even after seed storage and sowing the uniform establishment of …

The experiment was conducted at the division of Basic Sciences and Humanities, SKUAST-
Kashmir to improve the germination potential and seedling vigour of parsley and okra seeds …

Understanding of the storage behaviour of endangered plant species such as Indian
Sandalwood, Santalum album L. is important for successful conservation. We tested …

Aims: The present investigation was carried out at SKUAST-Kashmir during the year 2020 to
