Abstract Chilling stress on cereal crops is the major form of cold
stress that appears in some regions, and causes significant losses by
depressing seed germination, and seedling growth and establishment.
Hormones have the ability to reduce the stress effects in crops
by various mechanisms. To determine the role of nitric oxide in mitigating
chilling damages in wheat, two trials were conducted and seven
wheat varieties were used. Seeds of wheat varieties after priming
using three different concentrations (0, 10-4, 10-5 M) of sodium nitroprusside
as nitric oxide donor were grown under two growth conditions
(control, 4… More >
