Addressing cadmium stress in rice with potassium-enriched biochar and Bacillus altitudinis rhizobacteria.
BMC Plant Biol
November 2024
Zoology Department, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, 11451, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Cadmium (Cd) is a harmful metal that negatively impacts plant growth by impairing key physiological processes like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake.
- The study explores the combined effects of potassium-enriched biochar (KBC) and Bacillus altitudinis rhizobacteria (RB) as treatments for rice, showing that their combination significantly boosts plant growth metrics, even under Cd stress.
- Results indicate that the RB+KBC treatment enhances various growth parameters, such as plant height and chlorophyll levels, while also improving nutrient concentrations in plants, suggesting it as a viable solution for farmers facing Cd-related growth issues.
Genetic diversity assessment of cucumber landraces using molecular signatures.
BMC Genomics
November 2024
School of Agriculture and Food Sustainability, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, 4072, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Genetic profiling of cucumber landraces is essential for preserving important traits in crop plants and enhancing breeding programs.
- The study analyzed 56 global cucumber landraces to assess genetic variation using 28 EST-SSR markers, which yielded significant genetic data.
- Results showed clustering of landraces by region, revealing genetic similarities and providing insights into the locations of genetic diversity within cucumber species.
Unveiling the potential of A. fabrum and γ-aminobutyric acid for mitigation of nickel toxicity in fenugreek.
Sci Rep
May 2024
Department of Geology and Pedology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Mendel University in Brno, Zemedelska 1, 61300, Brno, Czech Republic.
Article Synopsis
- Nickel (Ni) negatively impacts crop growth by causing oxidative stress and nutrient imbalance, making it crucial to find effective solutions.
- Rhizobacteria (RB) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) have shown potential in improving plant growth and mitigating Ni toxicity, but their combined effects on specific plants like fenugreek are under-researched.
- A recent study demonstrated that using RB along with 0.40 mM GABA significantly enhanced growth metrics and reduced Ni concentration in fenugreek plants, suggesting a promising approach for agricultural practices and addressing environmental concerns related to heavy metal toxicity.
Cereal sprout-based food products: Industrial application, novel extraction, consumer acceptance, antioxidant potential, sensory evaluation, and health perspective.

Center of Bee Research and its Products/ Unit of Bee Research and Honey Production, Research Center for Advanced Materials Science (RCAMS) King Khalid University Abha Saudi Arabia.
Cereal grains are a good source of macronutrients and micronutrients that are required for metabolic activity in the human body. Sprouts have been studied to enhance the nutrient profile. Moreover, secondary metabolites are examined as green food engineering technology that is used in the pharmaceutical, functional ingredients, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Resistance management is very important for devising control strategies of polyphagous insect-pests like Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Considering the importance of resistance management, demographic features of selected and unselected populations of H. armigera were studied in 6 different treatments viz.
