Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and considered to be vital plants. Zn has significant role in the biochemistry metabolism of plants owing its significance toxicity biological systems at specific concentrations, i.e., insufficient or harmful above optimal range. It contributes several cellular physiological activities promotes plant growth, development, yield. an important structural, enzymatic, regulatory component many proteins enzymes. Consequently, it essential understand interplay chemistry soil, absorption, transport, response deficiency, well develop sustainable strategies deficiency appears widespread prevalent issue crops across world, resulting severe production losses that compromise nutritional quality. Considering this, enhancing usage efficiency most effective strategy, entails improving architecture root system, absorption complexes by organic acids, uptake translocation mechanisms Here, we provide overview various biotechnological techniques improve utilization ensure quality crop. In light current status, effort been made further dissect assimilation, function, symptoms caused As result, have described potential information on diverse solutions, such structure alteration, use biostimulators, nanomaterials, may used efficiently uptake, thereby assuring agriculture.

The emergence of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastics (MPs) as pollutants in agricultural soils is increasingly alarming, presenting significant toxic threats to soil ecosystems. Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.), a plant medicinal and culinary value, subjected environmental stressors that threaten its growth productivity. This situation particularly acute given the well-documented toxicity chromium (Cr), which has been shown adversely affect biomass escalate risks productivity such economically therapeutically important species. present study was conducted investigate individual effects different levels PVC−MPs (0, 2, 4 mg L−1) Cr 150, 300 kg−1) on various aspects growth. Specifically, we examined biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, oxidative stress responses, antioxidant compound activity (both enzymatic nonenzymatic), gene expression, sugar content, nutritional status, organic acid exudation, accumulation parts L.) seedlings, were also exposed varying titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) 25, 50 µg mL−1). Results from showed increasing significantly decreased sugars, contents roots shoots plants. Conversely, increased indicators term malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, electrolyte leakage, exudation pattern T. seedlings. Interestingly, application TiO2−NPs counteracted leading greater biomass. protective effect facilitated by NPs' ability sequester reactive oxygen species, thereby reducing lowering concentrations both Our research findings indicated enhance resilience seedlings toxicity, not only improved but healthier physiological state demonstrated more balanced acids, critical response mechanism metal stress.

Review and Prospects of Phytoremediation: Harnessing Biofuel-Producing Plants for Environmental Remediation

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(3), С. 822 - 822

Опубликована: Янв. 21, 2025

Heavy metal (HM) pollution has become a major environmental concern due to increased anthropogenic activities. The persistence and toxicity of HMs pose significant risks ecosystems, biodiversity, human health. This review highlights the pressing issue HM contamination, its impact on potential bio-magnification. Addressing these issues requires sustainable cost-effective solutions. Among various remediation strategies, phytoremediation stands out as promising green technology for mitigating damage by using plants extract or detoxify contaminants. A key challenge in phytoremediation, however, is management large volumes contaminated biomass. study explores integration with biofuel production, which not only addresses biomass but also offers solution within framework circular economy. dual role specific plant species both production evaluated, providing reduced waste, lowering costs, promoting energy security. Future advancements engineering, biotechnology, process optimization hold enhance efficiency yields. Expanding research into metal-tolerant, high-biomass crops can further improve scalability economic feasibility. critically assesses challenges such safe handling biomass, sustainability concerns, existing gaps. By merging bioenergy this interdisciplinary approach presents viable pathway toward development.

While of lesser prevalence than boron (B) deficient soils, B-rich soils are important to study as they can cause B toxicity in the field and subsequently decrease crop yields different regions world. We have conducted present examine role individual or combined application silicon (Si) NPK fertilizer B-stressed spinach plants ( Spinacia oleracea L.). S . seedlings were subjected fertilizers, namely, low (30 kg ha –2 ) normal (60 )], which also supplemented by Si (3 mmol L –1 ), for varying levels soil i.e., 0, 250, 500 mg Our results illustrated that increasing caused a substantial plant height, number leaves, stems, leaf area, fresh weight, dry chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid content, net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, magnesium content roots, contents shoots, phosphorus leaves iron calcium shoots. However, increased concentration malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, electrolyte leakage manifested activities enzymatic [superoxidase dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate (APX)], non-enzymatic antioxidants (phenolic, flavonoid, ascorbic acid, anthocyanin content). further organic acids roots such oxalic malic formic citric acetic fumaric acid. The addition significantly alleviated effects on improving photosynthetic capacity ultimately growth. activity antioxidant enzymes NPK-treated seems play capturing stress-induced reactive oxygen species, was evident from lower oxidative stress indicators, acid exudation, shoots plants. Research findings, therefore, suggested ameliorate S. result improved growth composition under metal depicted balanced exudation acids.
