Alkalinity is a significant environmental factor affecting crop production, which exacerbated by the current climate change scenario. In alkaline soils, iron availability severely reduced due to its low solubility at high pH levels and bicarbonate concentrations, hinders plant absorption rendering it inactive. modern agriculture, green-synthesized nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention their compatibility, cost-effectiveness, enhanced potential for foliar uptake. This study explores effects of various sources including FeSO4.7H2O, Fe-EDDHA, Nano-Fe, nano-Fe, three concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5 g L− 1) on growth, physiological, biochemical parameters, nutrient uptake goji berry. The evaluated parameters included leaf area, fresh dry weight leaves fruits, chlorophyll a, b, a/b ratio, carotenoids, total soluble sugar in catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase enzymes, elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe). Results demonstrated that increasing led weights with highest values recorded L⁻¹ all sources. Nano-Fe significantly boosted leaves, resulting 4.95 4.84-fold increase compared control. (1.267 g) (0.815 fruit were observed nano-Fe. Regarding photosynthetic pigments, ratio peaked 1.62 mg g⁻¹ FW under nano-Fe treatment, while control exhibited lowest (1.31 FW). A similar trend was uptake, content (0.189 DW) (0.116 Although concentration positively influenced most traits, decline zinc manganese levels. Overall, these results highlight as an efficient, cost-effective source improving vegetative pigment levels, berries grown soils.

Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a commercially important and nutritionally rich vegetable crop in the Solanaceae family. Alkaline stress (AS) can disrupt growth, metabolism, and, particularly, nutritional quality. This study aims to evaluate role of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeNP) mitigating AS enhancing plant growth metabolic functions by conducting experiments under controlled greenhouse conditions with four main treatments: (irrigating plants alkaline salts mixture solution); FeNP (foliar application Fe3O4 at 100 mg L−¹); + (integrated treatment FeNP); CK (control). The results clearly demonstrated that negatively affects biomass, photosynthetic attributes, membrane integrity, carbohydrate balance antioxidant system. Additionally, key phenolic flavonoid compounds decreased AS, indicating detrimental effect on plant's secondary metabolites. In contrast, not only improved attributes but also enhanced integrity restored balance. restoration was driven accumulation sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) starch, along metabolism enzymes—sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), sucrose (SuSy), neutral invertase (NI), vacuolar (VI)—and their associated gene expression. correlation analysis further revealed tight regulation both enzymatic transcript levels all tissue types, except for SPS roots. Furthermore, resulted increased phenolics (dihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin, p-coumaric acid, sinapic p-OH benzoic benzaldehyde, ferulic acid) (dihydroquercetin, naringenin, kaempferol, dihydrokaempferol, quercetin) compared treatment, thus suggesting these metabolites likely contribute stabilization cellular structures membranes, ultimately supporting physiological resilience stress. conclusion, demonstrate potential bell against improving

Maize (Zea mays L.) faces significant challenges to its growth and productivity from heavy metal stress, particularly Chromium (Cr) which induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation damages photosynthetic tissues. This study aimed investigate the effects of fulvic acid (FA) application, via foliar spray or root irrigation, on mitigating chromium stress in maize by evaluating impact antioxidant activity parameters. Two varieties, P3939 30Y87, were subjected (CrCl3·6H2O) at concentrations 300 µM 100 for a duration 5 weeks. The experiment was conducted wire house under natural environmental conditions Seed Centre, Institute Botany, University Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. Physiological assessments included electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll pigment content, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, activities enzymes such as catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol (GPX) leaves. Growth parameters also monitored. results revealed that significantly reduced content increased oxidative evidenced elevated MDA levels leakage. However, FA application notably mitigated these effects: improved 15%, decreased significantly. Irrigation with effective, reducing 40% compared treatment. Furthermore, while enhanced enzyme activities, further boosted total soluble protein conditions. In conclusion, demonstrates potential improving tolerance enhancing defense system preserving pigments. These findings highlight FA's promise practical strategy negative impacts maize, promoting sustainable agricultural practices contaminated environments.
