Polyamines (PAs) have a fundamental role in the functioning of plant cells when exposed to
heavy metal (HM) stress conditions. PAs play a significant importance in growth, physiology …

Studies on copying mechanisms of Pinus strobus and P. banksiana to soil metal
contamination are limited. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine if P. strobus or P …

Contamination of farm produce by toxic heavy metals has become a serious global health
concern. These metals can bioaccumulate in plant tissues and are precursors for major …

The increasing utilization of nanoparticles (NPs) in agricultural practices has led to a surge
in demand for nano-based products. Herein, we investigate the dose-dependent impacts of …

Rhizobia, which enter into symbiosis with legumes, can also interact with non-legumes and
promote plant growth. In this paper, we explored the effects of nickel (Ni, 200 µM) on …

The transition from fossil-fuel-based internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles plays a
key role to decarbonize road transport and mitigate climate change. Even though this …

Nickel (Ni) is a fundamental micronutrient in plants but hampers plant growth and
metabolism at elevated levels in the soil by inducing oxidative stress. In the recent years …

Key message Our research revealed that 24-epibrassinolide alleviated nickel toxicity in
young Eucalyptus urophylla plants, inducing benefits on nutritional, physiological …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) have been utilized to immobilize heavy
metals, limiting their translocation in metal contaminated settings. However, studies on the …

Heavy metal contamination is a serious threat for terrestrial ecosystems. Thus, they could be
accumulated in living organisms leading consequently to harmful consequences. In this …
