Heavy metal pollution is one of the most devastating abiotic factors, significantly damaging crops and human health. One serious problems it causes a rise in cadmium (Cd) toxicity. Cd highly toxic with negative biological role, enters plants via soil–plant system. stress induces series disorders plants’ morphological, physiological, biochemical processes initiates inhibition seed germination, ultimately resulting reduced growth. Fiber such as kenaf, jute, hemp, cotton, flax have high industrial importance often face issue Various techniques been introduced to counter rising threats toxicity, including reducing content soil, mitigating effects stress, genetic improvements plant tolerance against this stress. For decades, breeders trying develop Cd-tolerant fiber through identification transformation novel genes. Still, complex mechanism has hindered progress breeding. These are ideal candidates for phytoremediation heavy metals contaminated soils. Hence, increased uptake, accumulation, translocation below-ground parts (roots) above-ground (shoots, leaves, stems) can help clean agricultural lands safe use food crops. Earlier studies indicated that detoxification, developing these stresses genes fruitful approaches. This review aims highlight role some conventional molecular key Molecular mainly involve QTL mapping GWAS. However, more focus given transcriptome TFs analysis explore potential genomic regions involved will serve source valuable information on crops, allowing further in-depth analyses identify critical breeding, like engineering CRISPR/Cas9.

Salinity and metal stress are significant abiotic factors that negatively influence plant growth development. These lead to diminished agricultural yields on a global scale. Organic amendments have emerged as potential solution for mitigating the adverse effects of salinity plants. When plants experience these stresses, they produce reactive oxygen species, which can impair protein synthesis damage cellular membranes. amendments, including biochar, vermicompost, green manure, farmyard been shown facilitate soil nitrogen uptake, an essential component synthesis, enhance various processes such metabolism, accumulation, antioxidant activities. Researchers observed application organic improves tolerance, growth, yield. They achieve this by altering plant’s ionic balance, enhancing photosynthetic machinery, boosting systems, reducing oxidative damage. The deal effectively with high concentrations in is gaining increased attention becoming increasingly popular practice field agriculture. This review aims provide insights into methods treating soils contaminated heavy metals manipulating their bioavailability through use amendments.
