Background: Consumption of leafy vegetables is a primary route of cadmium (Cd) exposure in the human body. Salicylic acid (SA) is a major stress signaling molecule that alleviates Cd toxicity in various plants. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of different SA concentrations on spinach growth, cadmium accumulation, and stress resistance physiology under cadmium stress (50 µmol/L).

Interactions between metal cations, notably Cu(II), and humic substances (HS) affect their mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity. This necessitates a molecular-level determination of the nature of HS functional groups binding Cu(II) (Cu-HS) and effects of pH on them. This study investigates the pH effects on the spectroscopic and structural properties of the complexes of Cu(II) with HS and representative model compounds using differential absorbance spectroscopy (DAS), examination of the properties of the d-d transition band characteristic for Cu(II) ions, and quantum chemical (QC) calculations.

Freeze-drying is a dehydration method that extends the shelf life and stability of drugs, vaccines, and biologics. Recently, its role has expanded beyond preservation to improve novel pharmaceuticals and their carriers, such as hydrogels, which are widely studied for both drug delivery and wound healing. The main aim of this study was to explore the multifunctional role of freeze-drying in improving the physicochemical properties of sodium alginate/poly(vinyl alcohol)-based hydrogels for medical applications.

Tyrosinase is an important enzyme in the biosynthesis of melanin. Many skin-whitening agents that inhibit tyrosinase activity from natural sources have been identified because they are harmless and non-toxic. In this work, 114 samples of 54 Fabaceae plants were assessed for their anti-tyrosinase activity using a dopachrome method.

Due to shallow root systems, potato is a particularly drought-sensitive crop. To counteract these limitations, the application of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) is discussed as a strategy to improve nutrient acquisition and biotic and abiotic stress resilience. However, initial root colonization by PGPMs, in particular, can be affected by stress factors that negatively impact root growth and activity or the survival of PGPMs in the rhizosphere.

Cadmium (Cd) is an abiotic stressor negatively affecting plant growth and reducing crop productivity. The effects of Cd (25 μM) and of pre-soaking seeds with salicylic acid (SA) (500 μM) on morphological, physiological, and glycerolipid changes in two cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Tosunbey' and 'Cumhuriyet') were explored.

The accumulation of the emerging pollutant salicylic acid (SA) in the environment has gained much attention. In this study, overexpression of the non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) gene, PtNRPS1 in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PtNRPS1-OE) increased resistance to SA pollutants. It was assumed that the enhanced tolerance was due to the high binding affinity between recombinant PtNRPS1 (rNRPS1) and SA pollutants.

This review addresses plant interactions with HMs, emphasizing defence mechanisms and the role of chelating agents, antioxidants and various elicitor molecules in mitigating metal toxicity in plants. To combat soil contamination with HMs, chelate assisted phytoextraction using application of natural or synthetic aminopolycarboxylic acids is an effective strategy. Plants also employ diverse signaling pathways, including hormones, calcium, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases influencing gene expression and defence mechanisms to counter HM stress.

Boron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and productivity, yet excessive boron leads to toxicity, posing significant challenges for agriculture. Fragrant rice is popular among consumers, but the impact of boron toxicity on qualitative traits of fragrant rice, especially aroma, remains largely unexplored. The individual potentials of melatonin and salicylic acid in reducing boron toxicity are less known, while their synergistic effects and mechanisms in fragrant rice remain unclear.
