TL;DR
Findings provide critical insights into the differential tolerance mechanisms among leguminous crops under heavy metal stress and may aid in developing strategies to enhance crop resilience and productivity in contaminated environments.
Waterlogging is an important abiotic stress that adversely affects plant growth, metabolism and productivity by restricting oxygen diffusion into the root zone. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is comparatively tolerant to flooding; however, prolonged waterlogging can cause hypoxia or anoxia, impaired respiration, reduced photos...
It is indicated that exogenous nitrogen is associated with improved Cd tolerance in P. ternata through coordinated regulation of Cd translocation, arginine and proline metabolism, antioxidant and transport-related processes, and rhizosphere-associated responses.
KN is highlighted as a promising and cost-effective phyto-protectant strategy for sustaining the productivity, biochemical performance, and medicinal quality of O. basilicum cultivated in As-contaminated soils, with broader implications for safe herb production and sustainable agriculture.
Soil salinization poses a significant threat to agricultural production, necessitating innovative agronomic strategies to mitigate its impact. Salinity stress is a critical abiotic factor that hampers tomato growth by causing ionic imbalances, oxidative damage, and disruptions in physiological systems. This study inves...
Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a persistent threat to plant growth and environmental safety, yet plant responses to contrasting Cd exposure remain insufficiently understood. Here, Arundo donax seedlings were hydroponically exposed to low (0.1 mM) and high (1.0 mM) Cd stress. Physiological responses were evaluated aft...
Introduction Ultraviolet-B radiation can enhance the accumulation of major chemical classes in medicinal plants but may simultaneously induce oxidative stress and cellular damage. Balancing these opposing effects is therefore critical for the effective application of UV-B in cultivation practices. Methods In this study...
