Background: Seed quality, an important determinant of germination and vigor potential, can be improved through seed priming. This study was therefore aimed at assessing the effects steeping duration inoculum concentration on seedling growth five crops priming with growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Methods: Broth cultures bacterial strains, belonging to Providencia vermicola (2 strains), P. rettge...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the largest fibre crop globally and an important oilseed crop. Rising temperatures declining water supplies, which are also impacting soil salinity, threaten cotton plant productivity. Germination, emergence young seedling stages in highly sensitive to salinity heat stresses. Brassinosteroids (BRs) steroid hormones that essential for proper growth development prom...

Priming in coconut water and seed weight are important nursery techniques for seedling emergence vigorous juvenile growth phase the nursery. Two hundred ten (210) observational stands of soursop seedlings were gotten from five (5) seeds 0.6 - 0.8 g 0.3 0.5 weights which primed at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 72 hours replicated three times. Findings showed that heavy had higher percentage (92.90 %) th...

Rice being the major food crop for more than half of world population is severely affected by drought stress starting from establishment seedling. We focused on UV-B priming mediated transgenerational tolerance a drought-tolerant rice variety (Vaisakh) towards polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6,000 (20%)-induced drought. Results showed that in F0 generation and re-priming F1 with enhanced PEG potentia...

In order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(Triticum aestivum L.), an experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Shiraz University. Results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
