Effect of Seed Invigoration with Nitrate Salts on Morpho-Physiological and Growth Parameters of Wheat Crop Sown in Different Dates in its Cropping Season

Effect of Seed Priming on Yield Attributes and Grain Quality of Rice under Timely and Late Sown Conditions

“…The Mg(NO 3 ) 2 primed seeds of rice varieties showed improvement in the growth, induced antioxidant defence metabolism and yield attributes in respect to control in normal condition (Srivastava and Bose 2012). Similar result was noted and reported in wheat by Siddique and bose (2015). Similar result was reported by Farooq et al, 2006. The present study concludes that priming of seeds with magnesium salt and hormones can overcome the negative effect of delay sowing and able to improve the yield and grain quality.…”

Priming-mediated triggering of antioxidative response to induce drought tolerance in Maize (Zea mays L.)

“…Moreover, it is cost-effective, environmentfriendly and easy to apply. Large groups of priming agents are known that perform effectively under a wide range of climatic conditions in favor of morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular alteration in various crops i.e., hydropriming, Ca(NO3), NH4(SO4 )2, NaCl, KCl, KH2 PO4, CaCl2, ZnSO4: Salicylic acid, MgSO4, GA3, KNO3 Mg (NO3)2 (10)(11)(12). Optimizing the priming chemicals concentration in relation to knowing the sequential event of the metabolic process of maize plant at the molecular level under drought conditions is most needed.…”

Effect of Seed Priming on Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Biochemical’s Changes of Rice under Timely and Late Sown Conditions

“…Antioxidant enzymes and metabolites increase under various environmental stress, with their comparatively higher activity in stress-tolerant cultivars, suggesting that higher antioxidant activity imparts tolerance (Polle 1997, Sairam andSaxena 2000). SOD is an enzyme that constitutes the first line of defence against ROS and it has already been established that seed priming with nitrate salts of Mg and K has shown an increment in SOD activity in wheat (Siddique et al, 2015). It may be due to the fact that, nitrate acts as a signalling molecule which triggers a number of changes in metabolic pathway Pandey 2003, Magalhes et al, 2002).…”
