The Effects of Foliar Application of Abscisic Acid and Cytokine in Different Reproductive Growth Stages of Mother (Maternal) Wheat Zarrin on the Seed Traits Under Saline Conditions

Key Points

• The foliar application of abscisic acid and cytokinins enhances seed traits, improving their resilience in saline conditions.
• Seed trait enhancement was significant during distinct reproductive growth stages, indicating optimal timing for application.
• Assessment used experimental treatments on maternal wheat Zarrin under controlled saline conditions throughout growth stages.
• These findings may enable better crop performance under salinity, highlighting the need for further exploration in real-field settings.
