AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the impact of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) on plant growth and nutrient uptake under lead (Pb) stress, revealing that Pb negatively affected plant growth and photosynthesis while also reducing essential mineral nutrient levels.
- MgONPs were found to detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhancing plant growth and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, which helped mitigate Pb stress effects.
- The research highlights the novel potential of MgONPs in alleviating Pb toxicity and improving the nutritional content of plants, suggesting it could be an effective strategy for enhancing plant resilience to heavy metal stress.
Article Abstract
During the current study, the effects of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (5 mmol/L) were observed on the growth and mineral nutrients of under lead (Pb) stress. The results demonstrated that Pb stress decreased the growth and photosynthetic rate of plants. Furthermore, Pb stressed plants showed decreased uptake of mineral nutrients including Zn, Na, Fe, K, Ca, Mg, K, and Cu. Similarly, Pb stressed plants showed enhanced electrolyte leakage (EL) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. However, magnesium oxide nanoparticles detoxified ROS to mitigate Pb stress and improved the growth of plants. Magnesium oxide nanoparticles also escalated the activity of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT). A higher amount of Pb content was observed in the roots as compared to the shoot of plants. Lead toxicity reduced manganese accumulation in plants. The increased concentration of iron, manganese, copper, and zinc advocates stress the ameliorative role of Pb stress in plants. The role of MgONPs in the alleviation of Pb-toxicity in has never been exploited. In addition, the potential of MgONPs to enhance nutritional content in via modulation in antioxidant system and polyamines have never been reported.

In this work, we analyzed the effects of mineral scaling on the performance of a 3D interfacial solar evaporator, with a focus on the cations relevant to lithium recovery from brackish water. The field has been rapidly moving toward resource recovery applications from brines with higher cation concentrations. However, the potential complications caused by common minerals in these brines other than NaCl have been largely overlooked.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a severe and common complication in diabetic patients. Some evidence shows that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate contribute to diabetic gastrointestinal abnormalities. Therefore, we examined the impact of prolonged treatment with insulin and magnesium supplements on the expression pattern of GABA type A (GABA-A), GABA-B, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors as well as nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS-1) in the stomach of type 2 diabetic rats.

One of the most effective ways to solve the problems caused by the presence of steel implants in the body is to apply a coating to them. This study aims to develop and optimize composite coatings of magnesium oxide (MgO), 58S bioactive glass (BG), and N-carboxymethyl chitosan (N-CMC) on stainless steel (SS316L) substrates using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The synthesized materials were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM to confirm their structure and morphology prior to coating.
