The main objectives of this study were to elucidate the roles of silicon (Si) in alleviating the
effects of 2 mM zinc (high Zn) stress on photosynthesis and its related gene expression …

The acerbic elevation of toxic metal ions in arable lands, enhance the risk of their
accumulation and biomagnification in crops as well as in humans. Phytoremediation is an …

Our earlier work described that the roots of two maize cultivars, grown hydroponically,
differentially responded to cadmium (Cd) stress by initiating changes in medium pH …

Non-protein amino acids are a significant store of organic nitrogen in many ecosystems, but
there is a lack of knowledge relating to them. Research has indicated that they play …

The present study was designed to determine the role of plant growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Burkholderia gladioli) in alleviating Cd stress in …

In this study, we investigated the possible role of hemin in alleviating zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and
