Chlamydomonas sp. extract meliorates the growth and physiological responses of 'Camarosa' strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) under salinity stress.

Microalgae like Chlamydomonas are beneficial organisms employed as biological stimulants to improve plants' growth, fruit quality, and stress tolerance. In the current study, the effects of Chlamydomonas sp. foliar spraying (0, 20, and 40 ml L) were assayed on Camarosa strawberry plants under salinity stress (0, 40, and 80 mM NaCl).

Salicylic acid foliar application meliorates L. growth responses under Pb and Ni over-availability while keeping reliable phytoremediation potential.

The efficacy of SA foliar use on Pb and Ni-induced stress tolerance and phytoremediation potential by L. were assayed as a factorial trial based on a completely randomized design with four repetitions. The factors included; SA foliar application (0 and 100 µM) and HMs application of Pb [0, 150, and 225 mg kg soil Lead (II) nitrate] and Ni [0, 220, and 330 mg kg soil Nickel (II) nitrate].
