EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PRIMINGS ON GERMINATION AND GROWTH PARAMETERS OF RICE (ORYZA SATIVA) SEEDS DURING DROUGHT STRESS, AS COMPARED WITH SILVER NANOPARTICLES

Effect of Different Primings on Germination and Growth Parameters of Rice (Oryza sativa) Seeds during Drought Stress, as Compared with Silver Nanoparticles

The present study sought to compare the effect of seed priming by hydropriming, ascorbate and calcium chloride (CaCl2) versus different concentrations of silver nanoparticles on two Iranian rice cultivars (Hashemi and Shiroodi) under drought stress.The experimental design, which was factorial, was completely randomized.The first factor was control
