Seed Nanopriming

Abstract

Soil salinity, one of the main abiotic risks to agricultural products, lowers agricultural yields, and as a result, the world's rising population confronts substantial food challenges. It's one of the world's most pressing abiotic issues, affecting 30% or more of irrigated land. Saline stress is caused by a number of different salt concentrations; however, NaCl is by far the most common salt in the ground. High salt stress is the reason for delay in seed germination, which may be caused by either the osmotic potential of the water or by the effects of certain toxic ions. This chapter covers seed priming and salt resistance approaches that generate biochemical, physiological, and structural processes in saline stress, and the interaction between seed priming and salt resistance. Priming with nanoparticles (NPs) needs more study to reduce the negative effects of salinity stress on a variety of crops grown in extreme conditions.
