Background: Heavy metal contamination significantly threatens crop growth and global food security. Understanding plant responses to such stress is crucial developing stress-tolerant crops. This study explores the physiological biochemical of Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek mercury, lead, copper stress, focusing on role soluble sugar accumulation biomass enhancement in conferring heavy tolerance. Methods: Commercially available V. seeds were exposed varying concentrations (50, 150, 300 mg/L) mercurous nitrate, lead chloride under controlled conditions. The germination rates, seedling growth, parameters as protein content analyzed using spectrophotometry statistical methods, including ANOVA. Results: results demonstrated that ion increased dry weight, while all tested metals promoted accumulation. Although inhibited at higher concentrations, exhibited strong tolerance moderate levels. Conclusion: highlights adaptive strategies radiata, soluble-sugar-mediated osmotic adjustment enhanced allocation, which contribute its resilience stress. These findings provide insights for breeding stress-resistant crops managing heavy-metal-contaminated environments.
