Effect of Seed priming on Osmolytes Accumulation and Antioxidant Enzymes under Drought stress in Wheat

Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses that negatively influences plant   growth and development. It is an important yield-decreasing factor in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Osmotic stress is also one of the consequences of drought stress. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is most commonly used to create osmotic stress in plants. Among various strategies, seed priming is low cost, ea…
