Pre treatment of melatonin rescues cotton seedlings from cadmium toxicity by regulating key physio-biochemical and molecular pathways

Aziz Khan et al.

Summary: Melatonin, a hormone found in plants and animals, plays a role in protecting plants from oxidative damage caused by abiotic stress. This study examined the physiological and molecular mechanisms of melatonin-induced cadmium (Cd) stress tolerance and detoxification in cotton seedlings. The presence of melatonin in seedlings subjected to Cd stress helped maintain leaf photosynthetic capacity and improved growth and leaf functioning. The downregulation of Cd transporter genes in roots further inhibited the transport of Cd ions to leaf tissues. Melatonin also protected cotton seedlings from Cd-induced oxidative injury and activated signaling pathways related to stomatal adjustment and photosynthesis. These findings provide insights into the molecular basis of melatonin-mediated Cd stress tolerance and its potential application in crop improvement.

Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Seedlings to Nickel Toxicity

Muhammad Ahsan Altaf et al.

Summary: Globally, heavy metal pollution of soil has remained a problem for food security and human health. This study characterized the toxicity symptoms of different concentrations of nickel (Ni) on pepper seedlings. The results showed that excess Ni reduced growth and biomass production, affected gas exchange elements and pigment molecules, and disrupted photosystem function. Higher Ni concentrations increased antioxidant enzyme activity and metabolites, but decreased nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus levels. The uptake of Ni was higher in roots than shoots. Ni concentrations equal to or greater than 30 mg L-1 had a detrimental impact on pepper seedlings.

Melatonin and nitric oxide: Dual players inhibiting hazardous metal toxicity in soybean plants via molecular and antioxidant signaling cascades

Muhammad Imran et al.

Summary: The combination of melatonin and nitric oxide enhances plant growth and reduces oxidative stress. It minimizes the toxicity of heavy metals by lowering levels of abscisic acid and jasmonic acid, while increasing levels of endo-melatonin and endo-S-nitrosothiol. Furthermore, the combined application reduces soil mobilization of Cd and Pb and increases plant resistance to heavy metal toxicity.

Summary: Heavy metal contamination, mainly caused by anthropogenic activities, is a serious environmental and agricultural soil issue. This study investigated the effects of different concentrations of vanadium (V) on pepper seedlings, including growth, root traits, photosynthetic performance, reactive oxygen species (ROS), osmolytes production, antioxidant enzyme activities, and V uptake. The results showed that lower V concentrations positively affected pepper growth, while higher concentrations had a detrimental effect on physiological and biochemical mechanisms.
