Maize (Zea mays L.) has been widely adopted for phytomanagement of cadmium (Cd)-
contaminated soils due to its high biomass production and Cd accumulation capacity. This …

Background The release of organic acids (OAs) is considered the main mechanism used by
phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to dissolve inorganic phosphate in soil. Nevertheless …

Due to the deliberate use of cupric fungicides in the last century for crop-defence programs,
copper (Cu) has considerably accumulated in the soil. The concentrations of Cu often …

Identification of mechanisms that decrease cadmium accumulation in plants is a prerequisite
for minimizing dietary uptake of cadmium from contaminated crops. Here, we show that …

Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant that limits crop production. Among the
deleterious effects by metal induced stress on plant development, cell leakage and nutrient …

In developing countries, Cd contamination is ubiquitous which limits agriculture productivity.
The current study was designed to investigate the efficacy of plant—Bacillus pumilus …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal affecting the normal growth of plants. Nitrate (NO 3−)
and ammonium (NH 4+) are the primary forms of inorganic nitrogen (N) absorbed by plants …

Nutritional stress caused by copper (Cu) deficiency or toxicity affects fruit production of citrus
orchards worldwide, but this could be minimised by fine-tuned fertilisation in the orchards …

Even though urea and nitrate are the two major nitrogen (N) forms applied as fertilizers in
agriculture and occur concomitantly in soils, the reciprocal influence of these two N sources …

The purpose of the present work was to study the effect of the nitrogen source (NO 3-vs NH
4+) on cadmium (Cd) uptake, translocation and partition and its associated toxicity in …
