Elucidating the distinct interactive impact of cadmium and nickel on growth, photosynthesis, metal-homeostasis, and yield responses of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) varieties

Muhammad Aqeel et al.

Summary: This study assessed the toxicity of heavy metals cadmium and nickel on mung bean plants, revealing significant differences in morpho-physiological attributes between varieties, with V-2 showing sensitivity to cadmium and nickel. Metal treatments led to reduced plant growth and suppressed gas exchange characteristics, with cadmium treatments having more adverse effects on mung bean plants.

Iron and zinc supplies mitigate cadmium toxicity in micropropagated banana (Musa spp.)

Doaa S. Elazab et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the interaction of iron and zinc with cadmium in banana under in vitro conditions, highlighting their role in mitigating the toxicity of cadmium. Iron and zinc were found to maintain chlorophyll and carotenoids, non-enzymatic antioxidants, total protein, and non-protein thiol levels in banana shoots exposed to cadmium stress. This suggests that iron and zinc play a crucial role in mediating defense responses in banana shoots under cadmium toxicity.

Foliar-applied silicon nanoparticles mitigate cadmium stress through physio-chemical changes to improve growth, antioxidant capacity, and essential oil profile of summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.)

Elnaz Farajzadeh Memari-Tabrizi et al.

Summary: The use of nanofertilizers shows promise in increasing plant productivity and reducing environmental pollution. The study demonstrated that moderate cadmium levels can enhance phenolic, flavonoid, and essential oil content in plants, while high cadmium levels lead to decreased growth and increased stress indicators. The application of 1.5-2.25 mM Si-NPs was effective in improving plant growth and essential oil yield under Cd stress.

Iron oxide nanoparticles ameliorated the cadmium and salinity stresses in wheat plants, facilitating photosynthetic pigments and restricting cadmium uptake

Natasha Manzoor et al.

Summary: Iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized from a bacterial strain can stimulate wheat plant growth in saline soil, alleviate abiotic stresses, and enhance nutrient concentrations in the soil while reducing harmful components in wheat grains. The application of FeO-NPs in Cd-polluted soil also reduces the uptake of Cd by wheat plants, making it a potential agricultural strategy for mitigating Cd and salt stresses.
