A field experiment was conducted to study the “The effect of hydropriming on seed quality, growth and yield of wheat” at the Lovely professional university, University of Agricultural Sciences, Phagwara, Punjab on sandy loam soil under rainfed condition during 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatment combinations replicated thrice.

Ziziphus jujuba or Jujube, belonging to the Rhamnaceae family, is used predominantly in China, India, and other Southeast Asian regions and has been used as a fruit and medicinal remedy since ancient times. Seeds of jujube have great pharmacological benefits like antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and diuretic activities.

In the present-day, obesity is one of the major public health issues negatively impacting life expectancy. Anti-obesity treatment involves drug therapy, which also has complications and side effects when used for the long term hence, the demand for plant-based treatments in terms of food and drugs is increasing.

An increase in the population and the change in diet have put enormous pressure on the Indian soil. Farmers struggle to maintain their level of harvesting, soil degradation, water shortages, declines in biodiversity, and more frequent natural disasters. In addition, agriculture accounts for nearly 14 percent of India’s total greenhouse gas emissions.

The traditional and indigenous methods of treating diseases have been very common since time long. The COVID 19 outbreak made people more inclined towards the use of herbs and plants more than drugs and pharmaceuticals. Corn silk which is commonly dumped as agricultural waste can also be used for some remedial purpose.

Weed infestation seriously threatens agricultural crop production and their management. 45% yield losses happen only due to high weed infestation. To control the high weed population in the field, conventional methods are followed which are costly and labor-intensive. Blind application of herbicides for weed control is highly hazardous for the crop.

The potato is the most widely grown non-cereal crop and the third most important food crop in the world. Its use in biotechnology for crop enhancement has a long history since it is a species that adapts itself well to cell culture. This analysis starts with a historical overview of potato biotechnology advancements, including disease eradication, widespread hybridization, ploidy manipulation, and cell culture applications.
