Exogenous carbon monoxide and jasmonic acid mitigate salt stress in Sorghum bicolor

Abstract

The agricultural sector plays an important role in the world economy. Expanding research is piloting its improved contribution to the economic sector. Despite the economic gain, the increasing population has already put a strain on agriculture, but the effects of abiotic stresses are severely affecting crop production globally. Abiotic stress is not only affecting the immediate plants, but further inhibits soil fertility, which will affect future crop productivity. The damaging effects of salt stress is only expected to intensify, which further obscures the future prospect of food security.
