Application of High Voltage Electrical Discharge Treatment to Improve Wheat Germination and Early Growth under Drought and Salinity Conditions.

The environmentally friendly, physical method of high voltage electrical discharge (HVED) was developed to improve the drought and salinity tolerance of two wheat genotypes. Unlike other plasma technologies, HVED treatment involves the discharge of electricity in water. In this study, the effect of HVED pretreatment on wheat germination and early vegetative growth under drought (0%, 15%, 20% and 30% PEG) and salinity (0, 90, 160 and 230 mM NaCl) stress conditions was investigated.

Fullerol C(OH) Nanoparticles and Drought Impact on Wheat ( L.) during Growth and Infection with .

Fullerol C(OH) nanoparticles (FNP)-wheat- interaction outcome is more complicated in the presence of drought. This study sheds light on how the presence of FNP affects food and feed safety from the perspective of mycotoxin contamination. The study aims to determine the influence of FNP at environmentally plausible concentrations on wheat growth under drought stress and on the aggressiveness of during wheat germination, as well as the influence of FNP on the secondary metabolite profile during the inappropriate wheat storage.
