Mepiquat chloride priming confers the ability of cotton seed to tolerate salt by promoting ABA-operated GABA signaling control of the ascorbate–glutathione cycle

Abstract Background Ensuring that seeds germinate and emerge normally is a prerequisite for cotton production, esp. in areas with salinized soil. Priming with mepiquat chloride (MC) can promote seed germination and root growth under salt stress, but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In th...
