Food security is one of the world’s top challenges, specifically considering global issues like climate change. Seed priming strategy to improve crop production, typically via increased germination, yields, and/or stress tolerance. Hydropriming, or soaking seeds in water only, simplest form seed priming. However, addition certain agents has resulted a variety modified strategies, including osmopriming, halopriming, hormonal priming, PGR nutripriming, and others. Most current research focused on nutripriming. This review will focus specific compounds that have been used most often over past 3 years physiological effects they had crops. Over half recent four compounds: (1) salicylic acid, (2) zinc, (3) gibberellic (4) potassium nitrate. One interesting characteristics all chemical are exposed only yet confer benefits throughout plant development. In some cases, such passed subsequent generations, suggesting an epigenetic effect, which supported by observed changes DNA methylation histone modification. summarize state knowledge molecular mechanisms associated with discuss avenues for future research.

Salinity stress significantly threatens seed germination, plant growth, and agricultural productivity, necessitating effective mitigation strategies. This study evaluates the potential of salicylic acid (SA) pretreatment to alleviate detrimental effects salinity on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes. SA, a phenolic hormone, is crucial for regulating responses, essential physiological processes, including germination ion transport. Previous research has established general benefits SA in enhancing tolerance, but specific mechanisms genotypes remain underexplored. focuses impact seedling growth various genotypes, efficacy these genotypes' tolerance stress, underlying biochemical mechanisms, particularly involving antioxidant defense system. The was conducted two phases: growth. Ten commercial varieties were exposed varying levels alongside concentrations assess performance. Subsequently, six one variety evaluated under controlled salt conditions (100 mM 200 NaCl), with treatments at 0, 0.5, 1 mM. Results revealed that severely impaired traits, which enhanced by pretreatment. During phase, resulted reduced protein, chlorophyll, carotenoid content, decreased potassium (K⁺) levels, diminished water while increasing electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde (MDA) sodium (Na⁺) concentrations, enzyme activities, proline levels. Importantly, elevated chlorophyll protein improved retention, moderated K⁺ Na⁺ their ratios conditions. also system, reducing oxidative damage induced stress. Principal component analysis (PCA) successfully categorized into semi-tolerant, tolerant, semi-sensitive, sensitive classes based responses. Notably, Jules exhibited exceptional resilience during both stages, indicating its as superior candidate cultivation salt-affected regions. highlights an strategy enhance novelty this work lies detailed elucidation SA's role modulating defenses homeostasis different providing new insights breeding programs practices aimed improving crop productivity increasingly saline environments.
