Polyglutamic acid-functionalized carbon dots enhance cadmium tolerance in Houttuynia cordata through coordinated regulation of physiological responses, gene expression and the rhizosphere microbiome
Through integrated analysis, it further revealed the potential synergistic relationship between gene expression changes, rhizosphere microbial composition, and plant physiological indicators and provides new insights into the use of nanomaterials to enhance the adaptability of plants to heavy metals stress.
Cadmium (Cd) is a primary contaminant deteriorating agricultural soil quality in China. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a vegetable crop capable of accumulating high levels of Cd. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a biochar-based microbial agent (Burkholderia pyrrocinia P10) on pepper growth and dev...

The problem of cadmium (Cd) pollution in soil has attracted much attention. Although
Pennisetum glaucum
has developed tolerance mechanisms to heavy metals, the accumulation of excess Cd through the food chain threatens human health. Silicon (Si) has a beneficial role in alleviating environmental stress. However, th...

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in crops seriously threatens agricultural productivity and food safety, highlighting the need for effective strategies to mitigate Cd toxicity. Uniformly dispersed zinc-doped carbon quantum dots (Zn-CQDs; 2.67 ± 0.36 nm) were synthesized in this study. The synthesized dots demonstrated enzyme-...

To investigate the mitigating role and underlying mechanisms of exogenous boron (B) in cadmium (Cd)-stressed woody fruit trees, a hydroponic study was conducted using Malus hupehensis Rehd. seedlings treated with different B concentrations (0, 12.5, 50, and 150 μM H3BO3). Cd stress significantly inhibited plant growth...
Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a major constraint limiting the yield and quality of medicinal plants. In this study, the effects of exogenous nitrogen on alleviating Cd toxicity in Pinellia ternata seedlings were investigated, and the underlying mechanisms were explored using integrated physiological, transcriptomic, un...
