Mining soil is considered a serious source of metal contamination worldwide due to its translocation and accumulation in various plant parts, causing severe impacts on growth. Results indicated that biochar manure improved barley root morphology compared contaminated soil. Moreover, Pb Cu were highly translocated shoots. Regarding treatments, 10% 20% increased the roots, while animal 2.5% Using 10%, 20%, promoted Zn roots (bioaccumulation factor: BAFroot≥1). According Dickson quality index tolerance index, plants showed high for metals Biochar effective reducing negative effects such as Cd plants. helps increase Our findings provide insight into potential enhance crop production under stress, leading assurance food supply sustainable agriculture stressful conditions. However, future research needed, focusing field scale testing metals' long-term productivity grain

Abstract Background The resilience of plants against environmental challenges, particularly salinity and dehydration, is crucial for global food security. This study delves into the intricate interaction between NaCl-induced Azolla aqueous extract (AAE). In a pot trial, wheat kernels were primed with deionized water or 0.1% AAE 21 h. Seedlings underwent various treatments; tap water, 250 mM NaCl, priming spray, combined NaCl treatments. analyzed ionic balance, secondary metabolism, antioxidant efficacy, molecular response to experimental Results GC-MS analysis revealed key components like γ-aminobutyric acid benzenedicarboxylic acid. Exposure significantly reduced N, P, Ca, K, K/Na ratio, while increases in Mg Na. Also, decreased TAC, DPPH activity, AsA levels increasing GB seedlings. Additionally, increased flavonoids, saponins, anthocyanins but non-significantly phenols. qRT-PCR upregulation DRF1, CBF3, HQT, CHS, FLS genes downregulation CBF4 CHI by salinity. treatments, alone salt stress, mitigated Na accumulation (31.50 32.87% compared stressed seedlings), improved N P levels, alleviated Mg, K/Na, imbalances, enhanced potentials. Combined treatments effectually restored potentials regulated metabolites gene expressions, sustaining enhancement equilibrium, defenses, responses salt-stressed wheat. Conclusions Overall, can be exploited as green approach normal metabolism expression seedlings saline soils.
