Seed priming mitigates the effects of saline-alkali stress in soybean seedlings

ABSTRACT Soda saline-alkali soil has double adverse effects on growth, morphogenesis and yield of the crops by creating a salinity stress and a high pH value in the rhizosphere surroundings of the plant. Seed priming can be an effective approach to enhance stress adaptation in seedlings growing in s...

Seed priming can be an effective approach to enhance stress adaptation in seedlings growing in salinity stressed conditions.
