Article Synopsis
  • - Wheat is significantly impacted by drought, which not only reduces grain yield but also influences the accumulation of specialized metabolites that can help manage oxidative stress in both plants and humans.
  • - The research evaluated 18 wheat genotypes under drought conditions, finding that most showed reduced yields and photosynthesis while some, like VI_14774, maintained productivity.
  • - Four drought-tolerant genotypes (VI_14055, VI_14001, VI_14426, and VI_14666) were identified as having better agronomic, physiological, and biochemical responses, highlighting genetic variation in drought tolerance strategies among wheat plants.

The steady increase in cadmium (Cd) levels in the environment from anthropogenic actions has contributed to environmental degradation. is a forest species that has desirable characteristics such as deep and dense roots, relatively rapid growth and high biomass production to remedy contaminated environments by Cd. The aim of this study was to assess the physiological responses and the phytoextraction and tolerance capacity of young plants of submitted to Cd concentrations.
