Mitigation of nickel stress in Abelmoschus esculentus L. through citric acid seed priming.

Nickel (Ni) contamination of agricultural soils is an important threat to crop productivity and food safety because of its persistence and phytotoxicity. The present study assessed the possibility of citric acid (CA) seed priming as a strategy to mitigate Ni-induced stress in Abelmoschus esculentus L. A pot trial was c...

Fulvic Acid Enhances Zinc Uptake and Grain Biofortification Efficiency of Low-Dose ZnO Nanoparticles in Wheat

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a widespread nutritional problem, and increasing Zn concentration in wheat grain through agronomic biofortification represents a practical strategy to improve dietary Zn supply. However, improving Zn-use efficiency while reducing nanoparticle inputs remains an important challenge. A factorial fi...

Riboflavin-primed seeds reduce arsenic stress in Helianthus annuus L. through modulating antioxidant and metabolomics responses

Heavy metals-induced stress disrupts plant growth and development, making their survival difficult. Arsenic (As) stress is one of the major constraints that have become obstacles to the successful cultivation of many oilseed plants, especially sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The current study aimed to estimate the ca...
