Environmental pollution of heavy metals (HMs), mainly due to anthropogenic activities, has
received growing attention in recent decades. HMs, especially the non-essential …

Expeditious industrialization and anthropogenic activities have resulted in large amounts of
heavy metals (HMs) being released into the environment. These HMs affect crop yields and …

Background and aims Root-released carboxylates enhance the availability of manganese
(Mn), which enters roots through transporters with low substrate specificity. Leaf Mn …

Since the discovery of mycorrhizas, dogmas have been developed regarding their function,
ecology, and distribution. We explore if these dogmas are valid, and if there are research …

In this study, we evaluated the mitigative role of phosphorus (P) in terms of manganese (Mn)
toxicity in peach (Prunus persica L.) plants. Ten-day-old seedlings were treated with excess …

Fruit acidity is an essential factor affecting blueberry organoleptic quality. The organic acid
content in blueberry fruit mainly contributes to fruit acidity. This study aims to evaluate the …

In cultivated fields, patches of poorly developed vegetation often appear without a clear
indication of what is affecting the growth of the plants. The purpose of this study was to …

Manganese (Mn) toxicity in soil is a widely observed phenomenon, which seriously restricts
growth, quality, and yield of various crops and fruits including apples. However, mechanisms …

Industrial horticulture can release pesticides and trace metals/metalloids to terrestrial and
aquatic environments. To assess long-term and more recent land contamination from an …

Volcanic ash-derived soils are characterized by low pH (pH≤ 5.5) with increased
concentrations of aluminum (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+), which decreases plant growth …
