Heavy Metal-Induced Phytotoxicity, Accumulation, and Phytoremediation Potential of Euryale ferox Salisb. in the Wetlands of North Bihar, India

Euryale ferox Salisb. is an ecologically and economically important aquatic macrophyte widely cultivated in the wetlands of North Bihar, India, where increasing metal contamination may pose risks to plant growth and wetland sustainability. The present study evaluated the comparative phytotoxicity, growth responses, tis...

Nanobiochar-assisted phytostabilization of lead and cadmium in mustard (Brassica campestris L.) is associated with reduced metal availability and improved physiological performance.

Nanobiochar is well documented for heavy metal removal from water, but its efficacy in soil phytostabilization remains less explored. This study compared nanobiochar (NB) and rice husk powder (RH) at 50 and 100 g kg-1 for improving Pb and Cd phytostabilization in mustard (Brassica campestris L.) under pot conditions. C...

Species-specific cadmium and lead tolerance in four Eucalyptus seedlings: implications for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated soils

Introduction Phytoremediation using fast-growing tree species has emerged as a sustainable approach for restoring metal-contaminated soils. However, comparative information on species-specific responses to metal stress tolerance remains limited. Methods This study evaluated chlorophyll content, growth performance, and...

Short-Term Cadmium and Lead Exposure in Common Buckwheat: Metal Accumulation, Physiological Responses, and Compositional Changes

Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) contamination may alter common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench cv. ‘Korona’) physiology and composition. The objective was to determine whether common buckwheat maintains physiological performance under controlled Cd and Pb exposure while assessing metal transfer to harvested achenes....

Mycorrhiza-induced cadmium tolerance in squash: roles of antioxidant defense, secondary metabolites, and restricted metal uptake and translocation

Climate change-associated environmental pollution has intensified heavy metal contamination, particularly cadmium (Cd), posing a serious threat to agricultural productivity and food safety. The present study investigated the potential role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in mitigating Cd-induced toxicity in squas...

Synergistic effects of indole-3-acetic acid and chelators on phytoextraction of heavy metals by Ricinus communis L. cultivated in a mine-contaminated site

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) and chelators can remediate heavy metals (HMs) in mine-contaminated sites; however, their combined use may be more effective. This work aimed to identify the optimal combination of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citric acid (CA), as...
