Zinc-lysine and iron-lysine mitigate chromium toxicity in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) through modulating photosynthetic and antioxidant system and inhibiting chromium uptake and translocation.

Chromium (Cr) is an ever-present abiotic stress that negatively affects crop cultivation and production worldwide. High rhizospheric Cr concentrations inhibit nutrients uptake and their translocation to aboveground parts, thus can affect the growth and development of crop plants. This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of sole and combined zinc-lysine and iron-lysine applications on photosynthetic efficacy, antioxidative defense, oxidative stress, and nutrient uptake and translocation under Cr stress.
