The Efficacy of Seed Pre-treatments with Exogenous Jasmonic Acid and Salicyclic Acid-T Tpathogen induced Stress in Mungbean Selected Genotypes in India

Our agriculture is threatened by resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and climate change. To increase crop productivity 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 elicitor priming is a potent method for altering the metabolic and signalling pathways in seeds, which has an impact on the whole plant life cycle, not only germination and seedling establishment. A few advantages include higher food nutritional quality, greater output, and improved plant growth and development. The effects of elicitor priming on metabolic pathways, the balance of reactive oxygen species, and plant growth hormones increase stress and disease tolerance while lowering the need for pesticides and fertilisers. To evaluate seed vigour, shoot weight, shoot height, and germination % were employed. Indicating that presowing treatments can have either positive or negative effects on seed vigour depending on the treatment dose, the use of SA and JA in combination as an elicitor had a marginally advantageous effect on seed vigour. To determine their effects and the ideal seed priming dosage, more study is required.
