An overview of heavy metals toxicity in plants, tolerance mechanism, and alleviation through lysine-chelation with micro-nutrients—A novel approach
( Springer , 2022 , Article Review)Abstract: Plants must adapt themselves to the prevailing conditions for their survival, resulting in the acquisition of a wide range of metal tolerance mechanisms. Although many metal elements are essential for the growth ... -
Photodegradation and Its Effect on Plant Litter Decomposition in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Systematic Review
( MDPI , 2023 , Article Review)Photodegradation is an important mechanism that affects carbon and nutrient cycling; a significant amount of data has been reported previously. The present review includes the effect of a wider spectrum of solar radiation ... -
Pre treatment of melatonin rescues cotton seedlings from cadmium toxicity by regulating key physio-biochemical and molecular pathways
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Melatonin, a plant/animal origin hormone, regulates plant response to abiotic stresses by protecting them from oxidative damage. This study identified physiochemical and molecular mechanism of melatonin-induced cadmium ... -
Principles and Applicability of Integrated Remediation Strategies for Heavy Metal Removal/Recovery from Contaminated Environments
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Contamination of agricultural soils with heavy metals present lethal consequences in terms of diverse ecological and environmental problems that entail entry of metal in food chain, soil deterioration, plant growth ... -
Promotive Role of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid or Salicylic Acid Combined with Citric Acid on Sunflower Growth by Regulating Manganese Absorption
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient in most organisms. Establishing an effective regulatory system of Mn absorption is important for sustainable crop development. In this study, we selected sunflower as the model plant ... -
Proteomic analysis of T. qataranse exposed to lead (Pb) stress reveal new proteins with potential roles in Pb tolerance and detoxification mechanism
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Soil lead (Pb) contamination is one of the environmental problems facing the modern world. Sources of Pb in soil include industrial activities such as mining and smelting processes, agricultural activities such as application ... -
Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization
( Wiley , 2024 , Other)The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale ... -
Response of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) to nitric oxide application under cadmium stress
