Effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis and seaweed extract on growth, carbon/nitrogen metabolism, and antioxidant response in cadmium-stressed sorghum plant.

In our study on the effect of cadmium (Cd) toxicity (200 µM) on the growth of (L.) Moench plants, cultivated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) () and/or under seaweed treatment (3% extract) (), we found that AMF increased the tolerance of sorghum to cadmium stress, either alone or in combination with the seaweed treatment. Morphological parameters were higher in these two culture conditions, with increased chlorophyll content.

Sage leaf rock rose water extract: a bio-solution for enhancing the growth and salt stress resistance of sorghum plants.

, a versatile cereal grain, holds significant agronomic importance globally and plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity. However, salinity, a major abiotic stress, poses a threat to food production by reducing soil fertility and hindering plant growth and yield. In this study, we investigated the potential of water extract (CSE) in mitigating salt stress in sorghum plants.

water extract: a biochemical composition that enhanced the plants growth.

The burgeoning world population is exerting immense pressure on the agricultural sector to increase yield production, which has resulted in the widespread use of chemical products by farmers. However, these chemicals can have detrimental effects on both human health and the environment. To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to identify natural solutions that are less harmful to both humans and the environment.
