“…Drought is one of the major widespread abiotic stresses especially in the arid and semi-arid zones. It is a multi-dimensional stress which may leads to alterations in the morpho-physiological, molecular, biochemical, and ecological characteristics of the plants [2,6,114]. It adversely affects the quality and quantity of growth and development in plants.…”

“…Saline water may hinder plant development by lowering the plants' ability to absorb water which can lead to decline in growth rate. In addition, if excessive salts enters into the transpiration stream of plants the cells and tissues in transpiring leaves will experience damage which may results in further reduction in plant development [2,6,109]. The effects of salinity induces ion disruptions of ion homeostasis, alters water status, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) toxicity which may contributes to preliminary growth reduction and restraints in crop development [126].…”

“…Further, Rouphael and Colla [97] proposed that to concentrate solely in the foreseeable future, the prominent stakeholders of biostimulants, viz., scientists and private industry must concentrate on creating a second version of PBs (biostimulant 2.0), with special biostimulatory synergistic steps to make agriculture more competitive by implementing microbial, non-microbial and natural PBs. Researchers have been functioning in the direction of finding novel applications of NUE and RUE to maximize their effects [2].…”

“…In the present scenario, the agriculture sector faces concomitant hurdles to increase the crop production to sustain the rising population and maximize resource use efficiency (RUE) while minimizing the environmental effects on the ecosystem and human health [1,2]. Exponential growth in the global human population from 1.7 billion to approximately 7.6 billion in 2019, has resulted in the over-consumption leading to depletion of agricultural systems, such as grasslands being used for pasture, forage, and food production [3][4][5].…”

The primary objectives of modern agriculture includes the environmental sustainability, low production costs, improved plants’ resilience to various biotic and abiotic stresses, and high sowing seed value. Delayed and inconsistent field emergence poses a significant threat in the production of agri-crop, especially during drought and adverse weather conditions. To open new routes of nutrients’ acquisition and revolutionizing the adapted solutions, stewardship plans will be needed to address these questions. One approach is the identification of plant based bioactive molecules capable of altering plant metabolism pathways which may enhance plant performance in a brief period of time and in a cost-effective manner. A biostimulant is a plant material, microorganism, or any other organic compound that not only improves the nutritional aspects, vitality, general health but also enhances the seed quality performance. They may be effectively utilized in both horticultural and cereal crops. The biologically active substances in biostimulant biopreparations are protein hydrolysates (PHs), seaweed extracts, fulvic acids, humic acids, nitrogenous compounds, beneficial bacterial, and fungal agents. In this review, the state of the art and future prospects for biostimulant seedlings are reported and discussed. Biostimulants have been gaining interest as they stimulate crop physiology and biochemistry such as the ratio of leaf photosynthetic pigments (carotenoids and chlorophyll), enhanced antioxidant potential, tremendous root growth, improved nutrient use efficiency (NUE), and reduced fertilizers consumption. Thus, all these properties make the biostimulants fit for internal market operations. Furthermore, a special consideration has been given to the application of biostimulants in intensive agricultural systems that minimize the fertilizers’ usage without affecting quality and yield along with the limits imposed by European Union (EU) regulations.

“…Concentrations of NaCl higher outside the roots impede water absorption, make water extraction more difficult for plants leading to the osmotic stress 9 . High levels of salt in the leaves induce stomata shutting, electron transport impairment and photosynthesis contributing to reduced photosynthetic activity and productivity [10][11][12] .…”

Background: Crops usually encounter several abiotic stresses, and salt stress is one of the major constraints affecting plant growth and agricultural productivity globally. Sorghum is not only a valuable source of food but also a potential model for studying and better understanding the salt stress mechanics in the cereals and obtain a better knowledge of their cellular mechanism. Herein, we examined the effects of salt stress on physio-biochemical and molecular responses of sorghum genotypes to determine their tolerance.
