    Abstract Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that affects the world's agricultural soils and crop yield, the system that ensures food production. In the present study, three different concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles (250, 500 and 750ZnONPsmg L-1 ) were applied by soil drenching. The treatments aimed to improve the phytochemical characteristics of Lagenaria siceraria L. (bottle gourd) by lowering the oxidative stress brought on by salinity stress (200ppm NaF). Green synthesised ZnO NPs were prepared, having hexagonal and spherical shapes and sizes 16-35nm. Salt stress reduced fresh and dry biomass of plants and improved production of proline. ZnO NPs improved antioxidant response by enhancing catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities, and protecting cellular structures by eliminating free radicals and reactive oxygen species. The 500mg L-1 ZnO NPs treatment improved total chlorophyll (31%), total soluble sugars (23%) and maintained the gas exchange parameters under salt stress. This treatment also enhanced the biosynthesis of osmotic regulators (proline) by 19%, Na+ by 22% and Zn2+ by 17%, assisting mitigation of salt stress-mediated toxicity in plants. This study demonstrates that ZnO NP-treated seedlings show improved growth attributes, suggesting that ZnO NPs could be advantageous for L. siceraria cultivation in salt polluted areas and could be utilised in place of conventional Zn fertiliser for better crop yield.

    Abstract Heavy metal toxicity is a major environmental issue that affects all life forms, including plants. The accumulation of lead (Pb) in agricultural soils is a significant contributor to reduced crop yields, and it poses serious health risks to people who consume lead-contaminated agricultural products. The current study was undertaken to investigate the beneficial effects of glutathione (GSH) on the amelioration of stress induced by Pb (300 mg kg

    Abstract Anthropogenic activities are the foremost reason of metal pollution in soils of the cultivated areas, resulting abnormal physiochemical processes in plants. Among metals contaminants, cadmium (Cd) is one of the most injurious contaminants that deleteriously affect physiological activities, growth and yield of the crop plants. Keeping in view the stress mitigation potential of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), the existing research work was premeditated to inspect the beneficial role of seed priming with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂-NPs) on biochemical, morphological and physiological characteristics of Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander) plants under Cd stress. For this purpose, C. sativum seeds were primed with 0, 40, 80 and 160 mg L⁻¹ TiO₂-NPs. Cadmium stress triggered a significant decrease in chlorophyll a content (49%), chlorophyll b content (44%), photosynthetic rate (62%) and plant growth (51%) as compared with control. Tanium dioxide nanoparticles treated seedlings exhibited reduced Cd contents besides improved agronomic traits (seedlings biomass, number of seeds and yield). The TiO₂-NPs treatment declined the magnitude of EL and MDA by 1.5 fold and 1.71 fold, respectively. Furthermore, TiO₂-NPs diminished oxidative injuries in plants exposed to Cd stress. Additionally, TiO₂-NPs enhanced the biosynthesis of osmatic regulators (proline) by 47% which helped in the mitigation of Cd persuaded toxicity in plants. Briefly, treatment of 80 mg L⁻¹ TiO₂-NPs perhaps ameliorates the deleterious influence of Cd stress and enhance the yield of coriander.

    Abstract Abiotic stress reduces the plant growth and biomass production. Putrescine (Put) may be applied to alleviate numerous types of abiotic stresses in plants. The present research was intended to evaluate the role of exogenously applied Put in extenuation of cadmium (Cd) stress in coriander plants. Coriander seeds primed with 0.25, 0.5, and1 mM Put were allowed to grow in 50 mg kg⁻¹ Cd contaminated soil for one month. Put treatment improved seed germination, gas exchange attributes, root growth and shoot growth of coriander. The improved activity of stress-responsive enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase, besides amplification of proline was observed in Put treated seedlings under Cd stress. In addition, a reduced amount of total soluble protein and sugars content were noticed in Cd stressed seedlings. Nevertheless, Put reduced MDA level in treated plants. Our results demonstrated that Put mitigated Cd induced stress by modulating antioxidants and photosynthetic activity of coriander plants. Novelty statement Most of the researchers have studied the role of endogenous putrescine in alleviation of plant stress. However, during current study, we primed coriander seeds with putrescine. Our results elucidated very promising role of exogenously applied putrescine in stress mitigation and growth improvement of coriander seedlings under Cd stress. The findings of current study advocate the application of putrescine for stress alleviation in crop plants.

    Abstract The most prevalent heavy metal pollutant in the environment is lead (Pb). Lead potentially contribute 10% of overall heavy metal contamination. Lead uptake by plants has been found to have an impact on their metabolic functions, photosynthetic activity, growth, and productivity. The current experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of triacontanol (Tria) for attenuating Pb stress in Brassica oleracea var. italic (broccoli). Three different Tria concentrations (10, 20 and 30 µmol L⁻¹) were used to prime broccoli seeds. Growth of broccoli was reduced when exposed to Pb-driven toxicity. Additionally, Pb had a deleterious impact on the protein quantity, stomatal conductance, transpiration and photosynthetic rate. Nevertheless, plants grown from seeds primed with Tria2 (20 µmol L⁻¹ Tria) exhibited improved morphological characteristics, uptake of mineral content (Mn⁺², Zn⁺², K⁺¹, Na⁺¹) along with biomass production. There was 1.6-fold increase in photosynthetic rate, the phenol (1.3 folds), and DPPH activity (1.2 folds) in seed primed with Tria2. Additionally, plants treated with Tria2 demonstrated enhanced MTI and gas exchange characteristics that improves plant stress tolerance under Pb stress. Seed priming with Tria can be used to increase plant tolerance to Pb stress as evidenced by the improved growth and biochemical characteristics of broccoli seedlings.

    Abstract A major obstacle to agricultural production and yield quality is heavy metal contamination of the soil and water, which leads to lower productivity and quality of crops. The situation has significantly worsened as a result of the growing population and subsequent rise in food consumption. The growth of nutrient-rich plants is hampered by lead (Pb) toxicity in the soil.
