Abstract
This study explores the role of Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lotus) in enhancing the biochemical resilience of Lotus ornithopodioïdes during germination under metal stress conditions. Specifically, the effects of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) on germination and various biochemical parameters were assessed. Seeds were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lotus) and subjected to different concentrations of trace metals. Key biochemical parameters, including proline, amino acids, total soluble sugars, α-amylase activity, and DNA content, were analyzed. The results demonstrated that inoculation with Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lotus) significantly mitigated the adverse effects of metal stress, leading to improved germination rates and enhanced biochemical responses. Notably, proline and amino acid levels were reduced, while α-amylase activity and DNA content increased in inoculated seeds compared to non-inoculated controls. These findings suggest that Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lotus) plays a vital role in promoting resilience in Lotus ornithopodioïdes under metal stress, highlighting its potential for use in bioremediation and sustainable agricultural practices.
Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors for crop establishment and productivity, particularly during seed germination and early seedling development. This study aimed to evaluate the biostimulant potential of Ascophyllum nodosum extract applied to maize (Zea mays L.) seeds subjected to osmotic stress induced...

Heavy metal contamination of agricultural soil is an important environmental constraint
that can adversely affect crop growth, metabolism and soil microbial communities. The
present study was designed to evaluate the effects of increasing heavy metal stress on the
biochemical characteristics of chickpea (Cicer arietinu...
Despite elevated heavy metal concentrations in the Zeïda mining area (High Moulouya, Morocco), the rhizosphere of the native metallophyte Astragalus armatus harbored a diverse community of rhizobacteria with strong plant growth-promoting capacities. This study aimed to evaluate the biotechnological potential of these r...

Presence of heavy metals in culturing media and soil badly impact on the growth, development, and yield of plants. Availability of stress-mitigating molecules in the environment strengthens the plant to face such stresses. Lupeol has recently been investigated as a drought stress-relieving molecule in plants. In this s...

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...
