Zinc‐biofortified seeds improved seedling growth under zinc deficiency and drought stress in durum wheat

Abstract: High zinc (Zn) concentration of seeds has beneficial effects both on seed vigor and human nutrition. This study investigated the effect of Zn biofortification on growth of young durum wheat (Triticum durum cv. Yelken) seedlings under varied Zn and water supply. The seeds differing in Zn concentrations were obtained by spraying ZnSO4 to durum wheat plants at different rates under field conditions. Three groups of seeds were obtained with the following Zn concentrations: 9, 20, and 50 mg Zn kg−1. The seeds diffe… Show more

“…Previously, Yilmaz et al ( 1998 ) reported that the wheat seedlings emerged from high-Zn seeds in Zn-deficient soils under rainfed conditions were better in vigor, led to denser plant population, and resulted in higher grain yield. Very recently, it was reported that drought stress tolerance of young seedlings of durum wheat and Nigella sativa was improved by using seeds which were enriched with Zn either by foliar Zn fertilization of field-grown maternal plants (Candan et al, 2018 ) or through seed priming with Zn (Fallah et al, 2018 ), respectively. Priming of seeds with Zn was also found to be protective against salt stress during early seedling development (Imran et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Very recently, Candan et al. () used Zn‐enriched (biofortified) durum wheat seeds, by foliar sprays of Zn fertilizer to mother plants in field, and observed that Zn‐biofortified seeds showed better germination and seedling development both under low soil Zn supply and drought stress conditions.…”

“…According to the global surveys, low Zn availability is the most widespread micronutrient deficiency problem occurring in about half of the cereal production land ( Sillanpää , ). Seeds derived from such soils are not only less nutritious for humans and animals, but also have lower germination rates and poorer seedling establishment and field stand than seeds from Zn sufficient soils, particularly when sown in stressful environments ( Ozturk et al., ; Cakmak , ; Candan et al., ). Therefore, in wheat‐based cropping systems, adequate Zn fertilization is essential for sustaining crop productivity and mitigating negative impacts of various abiotic stressors (reviewed in Rehman et al., ).…”
