Heavy metal pollution poses great toxicity to plants, which makes methods to mitigate the
heavy metal-induced toxicity desirable. This study explored the efficacy of carbon dots (CDs) …

Improving growth and productivity of plants that are vulnerable to environmental stresses,
such as heavy metals, is of significant importance for meeting global food and energy …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) are nonessential and toxic elements in rice that
often occur together in contaminated paddy field soils. To understand whether rice has a …

Among abiotic stress, the toxicity of metals impacts negatively on plants' growth and
productivity. This toxicity promotes various perturbations in plants at different levels. To …

Plants are composed of complex organisms that include morphological, physiological and
biochemical segments. A number of environmental factors such as, heavy metals, drought …

Main conclusion H2 gas, usually in the form of H2-saturated water, could play a useful role
in improving many aspects of plant growth and productivity, including resistance to stress …

The presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can induce phytotoxicity and growth
inhibition in plants. These elements are bioaccumulated and biomagnified in the food chain …

The growth and stress responses developed by the plant in virtue of the action of PGPR are
dictated by the changes in hormone levels and related signaling pathways. Each plant …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are significant fertility-promoting microbes in soils.
They enable soil fertility, soil-health and boost crop productivity. There are generalist and …

Deterioration and impoverishment of soil, caused by environmental pollution and climate
change, result in reduced crop productivity. To adapt to hostile soils, plants have developed …
