Biopriming enhances biotic stress resistance and promotes better nutrition in tomato plants, suggesting sustainable agriculture benefits.

The study investigates how tomato seed biopriming improves plant resistance to biotic stresses through molecular mechanisms.
Examined the effects of seed biopriming on tomato plants under fungal and bacterial pathogen attack.
Analyzed changes in hormone pathways and antioxidant enzyme levels post-treatment.
Assessed the role of biopriming in enhancing root development and fruit quality.
Tomato plants showed increased resistance to pathogens after biopriming, activating faster defense responses.
Biopriming strengthened pattern-triggered immunity and adjusted hormone pathways related to stress response.
Increased levels of antioxidant enzymes reduced oxidative damage during pathogen exposure.

Mennani et al. (2026) studied this question.
