Improving Drought Tolerance by Exogenous Application of Glycinebetaine and Salicylic Acid in Sunflower

Mubshar Hussain, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: The effects of water stress and foliar application of GB were more pronounced when applied at the flowering stage than at the vegetative stage, and exogenous GB application was only beneficial under stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological role of exogenously applied glycinebetaine to improve drought tolerance in fine grain aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Muhammad Farooq, +5 more
- 01 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: Drought tolerance in rice was strongly related to the maintenance of tissue water potential and antioxidant system, which improved the integrity of cellular membranes and enabled the plant to maintain high photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chilling Tolerance in Hybrid Maize Induced by Seed Priming with Salicylic Acid

Muhammad Farooq, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: Seed priming with SA improved the chilling tolerance in hybrid maize mainly by the activation of antioxidants (including catalase, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase) and maintenance of high tissue water contents and reduced membrane permeability also contributed towards chilling tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Time and Rate of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Application on the Growth and the Seed and Oil Yields of Canola (Brassica napus L.)

Mumtaz Cheema, +4 more
- 22 Apr 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a field study was conducted to investigate the influence of variable rates of application of N and P fertilizers in splits at various times on the growth and the seed and oil yields of canola (Brassica napus L.) during 1995-97.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving the Performance of Wheat by Seed Priming Under Saline Conditions

M. Z. Jafar, +7 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The potential of seed priming techniques to improve the performance of wheat varieties (SARC-1 and MH-97) in a saline field was tested in this article, where wheat seeds were soaked in an aerated solution of ascorbate (50 ǫl−1, ascbate priming), salicylic acid (50 l−1; salicyric acid priming) and CaCl2 for 12h.
