Seed priming with KNO3 mediates biochemical processes to inhibit lead toxicity in maize (Zea mays L.)

BACKGROUND Accumulation of lead (Pb) in agricultural soils has become a major factor for reduced crop yields and poses serious threats to humans consuming agricultural products. The present study investigated the effects of KNO3 seed priming (0 and 0.5% KNO3) on growth of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlin...
