Role of biocompatible metal–organic frameworks as a source of iron for plant growth under iron-deficient conditions

Biodegradable MIL-100(Fe) nanoparticles act as controlled iron reservoirs: in Fe-deficient Arabidopsis they promote longer roots, restore chlorophyll absorption peaks and show fluorescence in roots/xylem, supporting iron release and uptake by plants.

Biochar-associated persistent free radicals inhibit wheat growth: novel insights into ecoenzymatic stoichiometry.

Biochar-associated persistent free radicals (PFRs) can directly induce oxidative damage in plants. However, this toxic mechanism may not be fully applicable to plants growing in a real soil ecosystem considering the complexity of the soil environment. In this study, biochar was applied to soil at rates ranging from 0 t...
