Description
Ece Turhan and Mohd Asgher introduce a journal collection on molecular priming, a way to vaccinate plants, in effect, against drought, heat, floods, and metal-tainted soils. Their 2024 editorial frames the stakes: such stresses stir up damaging oxygen byproducts in plant cells, slow growth, and cut crop yields worldwide just as food demand climbs.
Priming pre-treats plants with signals that wake their own defenses, lifting mineral uptake and antioxidant enzyme work before stress lands. The collection gathers four original studies and one review, all probing priming at the molecular level. Work cited in the issue shows, for one, that melatonin treatment helps barley bear water stress. The editors argue that priming, beside breeding and biotechnology, gives farmers a chemical-free-looking lever against a harsher climate.
