As one of the serious threats to food safety and public health, heavy metal contamination in
food and agriculture-related matrices has aroused serious concern for the public and needs …

Phytoremediation is one of the cheapest and most widely used technologies for stabilizing
and extracting pollutants from contaminated sites. Recently, a variety of solutions, such as …

Heavy metal stress affects crop growth and yields as wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth
and development are negatively affected under heavy metal stress. The study examined the …

The accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in leaves reduces photosynthetic capacity by degrading
photosynthetic pigments, reducing photosystem II activity, and producing reactive oxygen …

Heavy metals typically coexist with microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, little is
known about how the co-existence of heavy metals and MPs affect crops. Therefore, this …

Drought stress is a major abiotic stress affecting the performance of wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.). The current study evaluated the effects of drought on wheat phenology …

Thiourea (TU) is considered an essential and emerging biostimulant against the negative
impacts of severe environmental stresses, including drought stress in plants. However, the …

Lead (Pb) toxicity imposes several morphological and biochemical changes in plants grown
in Pb-contaminated soils. Application of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in …

Introduction Chemically modified biochars are a new generation of biochars that have a
great ability to absorb and stabilize environmental pollutants. In this research, the …

Agricultural soil quality degradation by potentially toxic elements, specifically cadmium (Cd),
poses a significant threat to plant growth and the health of humans. However, the …
