Effect of Thermopriming and Alpha-Tocopherol Spray in Triticum aestivum L. under Induced Drought Stress: A Future Perspective of Climate Change in the Region

Because of global warming and decreased river flows, all Pakistan's provinces, especially large parts Sind Baluchistan, have been experiencing water shortages for decades. Based on such climatic changes several management techniques recommended to cope through drought stress. This study is focused the assumption that seed soaking Triticum aestivumL. at low (4 °C) high (80 temperature (thermopriming) with exogenous spray alpha-Tocopherol (150 mol/L) will increase seedling formation crop production stress 5 10 days persuade resistivity in test species. also describes resistance mechanism both physiological biochemical activities. Results concluded chlorophyll a & b, carotenoids, sugar, protein proline (µmg/g) contents were detected maximum case T1 (control) T5 (5 + 4 °C α-Tocopherol) enhancing growth osmolytes component plant whereas; antioxidant enzymes bitterly respond under induced regulator p≤0.05. The showed degree various stressors best suited agricultural country (Pakistan) signifying successful demonstration priming method application α-Tocopherol as help industries improve quality germination rate.
