Chromium (Cr) contamination of soil has substantially deteriorated health and interfered with sustainable agricultural production worldwide therefore, its remediation is inevitable. Inoculation plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in association nanotechnology exerted broad based impacts agriculture, there an urgent need to exploit their synergism contaminated soils. Here, we investigated the effect co-application Cr-tolerant "

Antioxidant Responses in Chromium-Stressed Maize as Influenced by Foliar and Root Applications of Fulvic Acid

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2025

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.

Energy, Aromatic, and Medicinal Plants’ Potential and Prospects for the Remediation of Potentially Toxic Element-Contaminated Agricultural Soils: A Critical Meta-Analysis

Toxics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(12), С. 914 - 914

Опубликована: Дек. 17, 2024

A critical meta-analysis of the past decade’s investigations was carried out with aim assessing use plant-based techniques for soil remediation. Potentially toxic element (PTE) contaminated soils were selected since these contaminants are considered hazardous and have long-term effects. Furthermore, energy, aromatic, medicinal plants studied as their high-value products seem to be affected by PTEs’ existence. Lead (Pb), Cu, Cd, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni, Hg, As accumulation in different parts plant species has been investigated using proper indices. Aromatic provide high phytoremediation yields. Increasing toxicity levels coexistence many metals enhance capacity aromatic plants, even Cd. In usable energy sources, antagonistic effects observed, simultaneous presence Cu Cd resulted lower thermic capacity. Finally, most studied, it observed that phytostabilization technique, i.e., mainly roots often used, allowing aboveground part almost completely free metallic pollutants. Using remediation proven advantageous within a circular economy model. Such process is promising solution, both economically environmentally, provides useful tool keeping environmental balance producing safe goods.
