THE EFFICACY OF SEED PRE-TREATMENTS WITH EXOGENOUSJASMONIC ACID AND SALICYCLIC ACID-TTPATHOGEN-INDUCEDSTRESS IN MUNGBEAN SELECTED GENOTYPES IN INDIAPravallika Sree Rayanoothala, Sunita Mahapatra and Srikanta DasAbstract Our agriculture is threatened by resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and climate change. To increase cropproductivity and sustainably to ensure food quality and safety, a new agricultural revolution is necessary.SA and JA were used to prime seeds can assist assure the long-term viability of agriculture. Seed elicitorpriming is a potent method for altering the metabolic and signalling pathways in seeds, which has animpact on the whole plant life cycle, not only germination and seedling establishment. A few advantagesinclude higher food nutritional quality, greater output, and improved plant growth and development. Theeffects of elicitor priming on metabolic pathways, the balance of reactive oxygen species, and plant growthhormones increase stress and disease tolerance while lowering the need for pesticides and fertilisers. Toevaluate seed vigour, shoot weight, shoot height, and germination % were employed. Indicating that Presowingtreatments can have either positive or negative effects on seed vigour depending on the treatmentdose, the use of SA and JA in combination as an elicitor had a marginally advantageous effect on seedvigour. To determine their effects and the ideal seed priming dosage, more study is required. |
