This study investigated the potential of biogenic ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) to alleviate cadmium (Cd) toxicity in durum wheat plants exposed for 14 days 25 μM CdSO4. By applying ZnO-NPs at two different concentrations (25 and 50 mg L−1), we observed increased chlorophyll content, beneficially impacting photosynthetic efficiency, enhanced sulfur, zinc, iron accumulation. Moreover, ZnO-NP treatment reduced Cd accumulation shoots, mitigating leaf chlorosis oxidative damage. response was clearly mediated by thiol phytochelatin production, as well sulfate uptake rate, with TdSultr1.3 most responsive gene coding high-affinity transporter stress. In conclusion, application appears be a promising approach reducing heavy metals plants. addition, it could successfully used combination contamination prevention measures and/or remediation contaminated sites remove mitigate harmful effects on environment human health.
