Abstract Background Globally, salinity poses a threat to crop productivity by hindering plant growth and development via osmotic stress ionic cytotoxicity. Plant extracts have lately been employed as exogenous adjuvants improve endogenous defense mechanisms when grown under various environmental stresses, such salinity. This study investigated the potential of melatonin (Mt; 0, 50, 100 mM) an antioxidant licorice root extract (LRE; 0.0 3%) organic biostimulant applied sequentially foliar spray on faba bean ( Vicia L.) in cadmium (Cd)-contaminated saline soil conditions [Cd = 4.71 (mg kg − 1 soil) ECe 7.84 (dS m )]. Plants not receive any treatment sprayed with H 2 O were considered controls. The experimental treatments laid out strip plot randomized complete block design replicated thrice, where LRE Mt vertical horizontal strips, respectively. Growth characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, nutrient uptake, physiology metabolic responses, anatomical features, yield assessed. Results Cadmium (Cd) salinity-induced significantly altered leaf integrity, efficiency, total soluble sugars (TSS), free proline (FPro), phenolic, DPPH, proteins (TSP), non-enzymatic enzymatic antioxidants, characteristics yield-related traits. However, application + considerably improved these negative effects, higher improvements observed due . Application reduced hydrogen peroxide (H ) accumulation, lipid peroxidation Cd content leaves seeds, all which had increased stress. mitigated Cd-induced oxidative damage increasing activity reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, parallel enhanced reducing content. Exogenous osmolyte content, including FPro, TSS, phenols reduction considerable levels. Conclusions Our findings showed that V. plants’ morphological, physiological, biochemical properties, toxicity, promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Clinical trial number Not applicable.

Due to climate change, abiotic stresses have arisen and are harming agricultural water management productivity worldwide. To address this issue, bio-stimulators been explored improve nutrient use efficiency, reflecting improved due suppression of change-induced the plant stress tolerance. Bio-stimulators play a dual role as they increase tolerance feed adapt survive. Maize grain embryo extract (MGEE) diluted bee-honey solution (DBHS) novel group recently used, beginning in 2014, for some crop plants (common bean, faba sunflower, wheat, maize, onion, atriplex, roselle, chili pepper) grown under certain stressors (salinity, drought, cadmium, deficiency, chemical fertilizers). Reports signalized that MGEE DBHS effectively induce improvements molecular morpho-physio-biochemical indices positive stimulation antioxidant defense systems, all which enable cope with stress-stimulated toxicity maintain basic metabolic capacity stress. Under above-mentioned stresses, can provide efficient mechanisms enhance growth yield traits, quality characteristics, photosynthetic low-molecular-weight antioxidants, hormonal homeostasis, redox states, enzymatic activities, polyamine gene expressions, etc. Extensive research into potential sustain performance adverse field conditions would strengthen their cheaper eco-friendly alternative harmful high-cost chemicals.
