AI and Multi-Omics for Climate-Resilient Remediation of Heavy Metal Soil Toxicity

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agr...

Mechanistic insight into microbial mediated heavy metal uptake and tolerance

This review highlights that microbe-based bioremediation is an effective and sustainable approach for removing HM contaminants in agricultural soil and highlights specific mechanisms employed by microbes including: biosorption, transportation, sequestering, and detoxification that causes immobilization of HMs and reduc...

Heavy Metal Contamination in the Soil-Microbe-Plant Nexus: A Comprehensive Review on Mechanisms, Toxicological Impacts, and Integrated Remediation Approaches

A critical review of mechanistic insights and technological advancement for the amelioration of Pb and Cd through phytoremediation.

Heavy metal contamination is a major environmental concern due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and long-term impacts on ecosystems and human health. Among toxic metals, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are particularly harmful because of their high toxicity and carcinogenic potential, posing serious risks to plants, ani...

Deciphering ways of heavy metals toxicity reduction in crop plants.

The relationship between HM stress and plant signaling pathways, the regulatory role of miRNAs and phytoremediation-based strategies for HM alleviation are discussed, highlighting recent advances, current challenges and future prospects.

Green technologies for soil remediation: a systematic review

Heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, microplastics, and pesticides exhibit mutagenic, carcinogenic, immunotoxic, and teratogenic properties, leading to significant changes in the soil’s physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics. This poses a substantial threat to overall ecosystem health. Consequently, a...
