Cadmium (Cd) is a hazardous trace contaminant that naturally occurs in soil and poses global concern due to its severe impacts on human health ecological security. In plants, tremendous efforts have been made use some cost-effective, non-toxic, organically key growth regulators partake coping plants against adverse environmental conditions. However, the role of sorghum water extract (SWE) attenuating noxious effect Cd stress still limited various crops including maize. this study, different attributes, physiological biochemical indices Cd-exposed (0, 500 µM) maize were analyzed confirm protective SWE at concentrations (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%). application decreased such as plant length, number leaves, roots, leaf area biomass, deteriorated photosynthetic pigments carotenoids, chlorophyll b contents, nutrient uptake, especially calcium potassium ions increased reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide. Though, medium supplementation 10% level followed by 7.5% improved (plant biomass), uptake (calcium, potassium, nitrate, phosphate, sulfate) defense responses (ascorbic acid, phenolics, flavonoids) can be attributed enhanced functioning hermetic potential allelochemicals present SWE.

Cadmium (Cd), as the most prevalent heavy metal contaminant poses serious risks to plants, humans, and environment. The ubiquity of this toxic is continuously increasing due rapid discharge industrial mining effluents excessive use chemical fertilizers. Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged a novel strategy alleviate Cd toxicity. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) become important NPs used mitigate toxicity abiotic stresses improve crop productivity. plants quickly absorb Cd, which subsequently disrupts plant physiological biochemical processes increases production reactive oxygen species (ROS), causes oxidation cellular structures significant growth losses. Besides this, also leaf osmotic pressure, nutrient uptake, membrane stability, chlorophyll synthesis, enzyme activities, leading reduction in biomass Though possess an excellent defense mechanism counteract toxicity, not enough counter higher concentrations Applying Zn-NPs has proven potential mitigating effects Cd. ZnO-NPs photosynthetic efficiency, gene expression, can help stress. Additionally, reduce absorption accumulation complex relationship between ZnO-NPs, osmolytes, hormones, secondary metabolites plays role tolerance. Thus, review concentrates on exploring diverse mechanisms by ZnO plants. In end, identified various research gaps that need addressing ensure promising future findings contribute gaining deeper understanding combating promote safer sustainable remediating Cd-polluted soils.
