Morphophysiological, biochemical, and nutrient response of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) by foliar CeO nanoparticles under elevated CO.

Nanomaterials offer considerable benefits in improving plant growth and nutritional status owing to their inherent stability, and efficiency in essential nutrient absorption and delivery. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) at optimum concentration could significantly influence plant morpho-physiology and nutritional status. However, it remains unclear how elevated CO and CeO NPs interactively affect plant growth and quality.

Novel nanocomposite and biochar insights to boost rice growth and alleviation of Cd toxicity.

Cadmium (Cd) is an unessential and pervasive contaminant in agricultural soil, eventually affecting the food and instigating health issues. The implication of nanocomposites in agriculture attained significant attention to drive food security. Nanocomposites possess exceptional characteristics to stun the challenges of chemical fertilizers that can enhance plant yield and better nutrient bioavailability.

Modulation of Cd carriers by innovative nanocomposite (Ca+Mg) and Cd-resistance microbes (): a mechanistic approach to enhance growth and yield of rice ( L.).

Cadmium (Cd) is a well-known pollutant in agricultural soil, affecting human health through the food chain. To combat this issue, Ca + Mg (25 mg L) nanocomposite and , either alone or combined, were applied to rice plants under Cd (5 mg kg, 10 mg kg) contamination. In our study, growth and yield traits demonstrated the beneficial influence of Ca + Mg and application in improving rice defense mechanism by reducing Cd stress.

Salt stress amelioration and nutrient strengthening in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) via biochar amendment and zinc fortification: seed priming versus foliar application.

Soil salinity is a major nutritional challenge with poor agriculture production characterized by high sodium (Na) ions in the soil. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and biochar have received attention as a sustainable strategy to reduce biotic and abiotic stress. However, there is a lack of information regarding the incorporation of ZnO NPs with biochar to ameliorate the salinity stress (0, 50,100 mM).

Alleviated lead toxicity in rice plant by co-augmented action of genome doubling and TiO nanoparticles on gene expression, cytological and physiological changes.

Lead is a very toxic and futile heavy metal for rice plants because of its injurious effects on plant growth and metabolic processes. Polyploidy or whole genome doubling increases the ability of plants to withstand biotic and abiotic stress. Considering the beneficial effects of nanoparticles and tetraploid rice, this research was conducted to examine the effectiveness of tetraploid and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) in mitigating the toxic effects of lead.

Mechanism and synergistic effect of sulfadiazine (SDZ) and cadmium toxicity in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and its alleviation through zinc fortification.

Cadmium (Cd) and antibiotic's tendency to accumulate in edible plant parts and fertile land is a worldwide issue. The combined effect of antibiotics and heavy metals on crops was analyzed, but not mitigation of their toxicity. This study investigated the potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) to alleviate the SDZ and Cd toxicity (alone/combined) to promote spinach growth.

Modulation of metal transporters, oxidative stress and cell abnormalities by synergistic application of silicon and titanium oxide nanoparticles: A strategy for cadmium tolerance in rice.

Heavy metals, especially cadmium (Cd), cause severe toxicity symptoms in crop plants. Applying nanoparticles (NPs) as nano-fertilizers is a novel approach to mitigating plants' Cd stress. However, knowledge about the combinational use of silicon (Si) and titanium dioxide (TiO) NPs to mitigate Cd stress, especially in rice, must be highlighted.

Inhibitor-induced oxidation of the nucleus and cytosol in implications for organelle to nucleus retrograde signalling.

Concepts of organelle-to-nucleus signalling pathways are largely based on genetic screens involving inhibitors of chloroplast and mitochondrial functions such as norflurazon, lincomycin (LINC), antimycin A (ANT) and salicylhydroxamic acid. These inhibitors favour enhanced cellular oxidation, but their precise effects on the cellular redox state are unknown. Using the reduction-oxidation (redox) reporter, roGFP2, inhibitor-induced changes in the glutathione redox potentials of the nuclei and cytosol were measured in root, epidermal and stomatal guard cells, together with the expression of nuclear-encoded chloroplast and mitochondrial marker genes.
