Cucumber, a vital greenhouse crop, thrives in soils with pH range of 5.5–6.5, yet the combined effects arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and iron amino chelates on its growth physiological responses across varying levels remain underexplored. This study used factorial design completely randomized setup three replications was conducted at Horticulture Department Isfahan University Technology. The aim this to investigate AMF inoculation (Glomus mosseae) cucumber plants various levels. Treatments included two (non-inoculated as m1 inoculated m2), concentration (f1: no iron, f2: Johnson’s nutrient solution, f3: solution chelate), (pH 5 (p1), 7 (p2), 8 (p3)). moisture maintained field capacity throughout study. results demonstrated that significantly improved key traits, including chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, phenol antioxidant activity. Mycorrhizal 2 ppm Fe chelate led highest improvement shoot fresh weight traits. However, without mycorrhiza, stress indicators such ABA enzyme activities (SOD, POD, CAT, APX) increased, highlighting protective role under neutral conditions. In contrast, most effective for enhancing root stem weight. lower may have facilitated better solubility uptake, promoting development overall plant health by optimizing availability essential nutrients reducing competition resources more acidic These findings highlight potential combining not only enhance resilience nutrient-limited environments but also contribute sustainable agricultural practices address global challenges food security soil health.

Effects of exogenous amino acids on yttrium uptake and accumulation in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum )

International Journal of Phytoremediation, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 9

Published: March 4, 2025

This study investigated the impacts of exogenous amino acid supplementation on uptake, translocation, and accumulation yttrium (Y) in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum). To understand how acids enhance nutrient uptake plant growth by using Hoagland solution. The results indicated that combination Y with glutamic (Y + Glu) significantly increased concentration leaves to 28.5 ± 1.42 µg g-1, while histidine His) resulted a markedly lower 2.7 0.06 g-1. Notably, proved be particularly effective enhancing xylem sap. control exhibited higher sap flow rate 0.27 0.008 g h-1, which was greater than those treated (p < 0.05). Histidine levels were elevated His treatment, reaching 194.78 13.79 μmol L-1, tryptophan aspartic showed their highest concentrations respective treatments at 109.92 14.43 L-1 212.95 13.65 L-1. These findings demonstrated substantially enhanced phytoextraction plants, through application acid. Further exploration into molecular mechanisms governing complexation transport within phytoremediation is needed.
