Abstrakt: •Metarhizium anisopliaeMetA1 (MA) seed priming improved shoot and root biomass, as well as leaf characteristics in barley under various drought conditions.•There was a notable decrease in stress markers in MA treated barley, indicating reduced cellular damage under drought stress.•MA primed plants showed increased activities of several antioxidant enzymes, crucial for oxidative stress mitigation.•MA priming augmented osmoprotectant and balanced Ca2+and K+accumulation in stressed plants.•MA priming resulted in better physiological and biochemical changes leading to improved crop growth and yield traits of barley.
