“…Low concentration of boron had positive effects on meristematic growth (Khan et al, 2006) and SVI (Table 5, Farooq, 2011;Xia et al, 2019). The SVI frequently reflected the establishment ability of the seedling during plant growth (Xia et al, 2020) In this experiment SL was reduced by 52.50 % and RL decreased by 65.71 % (Table 5). The main reason for the reduction in RL is that higher doses of boron inhibit root growth (Habtamu et al, 2014), primarily by limiting cell protraction and cell division (Brown et al, 2002).…”

The aim of study was to investigate the effects of boron on germination and seedling parameters of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] under drought stress conditions. The experiment was conducted in a factorial trial in a randomized plot design with four replication in a growth chamber. In this study, three different sorghum cultivars were used. Drought conditions were performed at three different levels using PEG (0.-0.4 MPa and -0.8 MPa). Four boron doses (0-5-10-15 mM B) solutions are formed as boric acid (H3BO3). Parameters measured in Gözde 80 were superior to other cultivars under drought stress conditions. The maximum mean germination time, seedling viability index, shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight, and total biomass, were detected as 4 days, 74%, 10 cm, 13 cm, 63 mg, 21 mg, and 80 mg, respectively. Differences were noted in the response of different sorghum cultivars to drought stress, and significant decreases were observed as the drought level increased. Low boron applications generally increased germination and seedling parameters compared to control under drought conditions. The boron effects applied to alleviate the drought stress effects have been noticeably positive. Compared to control conditions, the best results were also generally observed in the application of 5 mM B at a drought stress dose of -0.4 MPa. It was concluded that high doses of boron applications caused double stress with drought and were even lower than drought applications alone. It was recorded that due to the reasons listed above, careful attention should be paid to the boron doses to be applied.

“…Chemical priming is the soaking of seeds in various types of chemicals which may be natural or synthetic in origin like choline, chitosan, ethanol, zinc sulphate, copper sulphate, potassium di hydrate phosphate, selenium which enhances crop growth and induce resistance to various abiotic stresses (Maurya et al, 2020). Primimg using boron enhanced the antioxidant activity in alfalfa seeds (Xia et al, 2020).…”

Legumes being a major source of protein have a wide range of economic importance. But the major constraints in growing legumes are poor germination, seedling emergence, non uniform stand establishment and crop mortality leading to lower pulse productivity. Thus, pre-sowing seed treatments are critical parameters which attribute to efficient plant growth and high yield. Uniform seed germination, seedling growth and uniform establishment are the critical stages during the growth of crops. Seed priming is a very promising presowing treatment employed to improve seed germination, better crop establishment, enhance the seed quality and induces tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses in plants thereby providing a balanced healthy diet to the citizens. Priming is a cost effective and feasible strategy involving controlled hydration of seeds followed by drying to stimulate the pre-germinative metabolic activities to occur promoting rapid germination of seedlings, break dormancy and enhance crop yield. Enzymatic, metabolic and biochemical processes of the primed seeds attributes to rapid and uniform seedling emergence. Seed priming methods comprises of conventional methods including hydro priming, osmopriming, biopriming, chemical priming and the advanced methods including nano priming and priming with physical agents. In this review paper, the underlying physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of priming in pulses were discussed.

“…When ROS are overproduced under stress conditions, they can cause cell damage (Xia et al, 2020). The high activity of SOD, CAT during the germination phase (490, 784, 980 mM exogenous H 2 O 2 ), suggested that hydrogen peroxideinduced strong defense activity during the oxidation pathway removed high concentrations of H 2 O 2 and inhibits accumulation of ROS and protect plants from lipid peroxidation (Wang et al, 2009).…”

Background: Hydrogen peroxide is reactive oxygen species that plays role in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress. The pretreatment with hydrogen peroxide can confer an adaptive capacity for the plants in unpredictable environments. The alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the legume more utilized in animal feeding in the world. Moreover, the alfalfa sprouts are known for the phytochemicals that promote health with antioxidant properties. Methods: This work aimed to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide in the pretreatment process of alfalfa seeds on variables as total germination, speed of germination, activity and antioxidant enzymes. The alfalfa seeds were soaked for 12 h in the next treatments 0, 98, 294, 490, 784, 980 mM of hydrogen peroxide. Result: The results showed that total germination was higher with the hydrogen peroxide than with water except 980 mM. The results of the present research indicated that hydrogen peroxide had physiological and biochemical effects on the germination processes of alfalfa.
