Plant defense activator-mediated seed priming suppresses leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and enhances yield in bread wheat genotypes

Puccinia triticina causing leaf rust is a significant pathogen of wheat because it negatively affects the canopy functioning, grain filling, and final yield. This research investigated the impact of seed priming on leaf rust severity, growth and yield of three bread wheat varieties Arooj-22, Dilkash-20 and MH-21. For t...
