Seed priming with two types of glassy microparticles in cowpea subjected to water deficit induced by polyethylene glycol 6000
Priming with SiMPs (blue and amber) is an effective strategy, conferring comprehensive resilience by optimizing WUEi at W75 and structurally protecting membranes at W35, in contrast to the insufficiency of PEG 6000. The use of this recycled glass material constitutes a sustainable and low-cost solution with significant potential to increase productivity and food security in semi-arid regions.
