Comparative efficacy of gibberellic acid and melatonin seed priming on germination and biochemical responses of maize under drought stress

Drought stress severely limits maize germination and early seedling growth by reducing germination percentage, seedling vigor, water uptake, and biomass, while prolonging mean germination time. This study evaluated the ameliorative effects of seed priming with gibberellic acid (GA3) and melatonin on...
