Synthesis and evaluation of micronutrients incorporated hydrogel seed coating on seed germination and seedling growth

Abstract

Hydrogels based on modified ultra-short peptide sequences are considered as effective low molecular weight hydrogelators. Among these, f luorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) dipeptide-based hydrogels exhibit a higher swelling capacity and some other unique properties such as extended stability, low toxicity, and high biocompatibility.
