Methylene blue (MB) contamination in agricultural systems, primarily from industrial wastewater, disrupts plant physiology by interfering with photosynthesis, inhibiting root nutrient uptake, and altering microbial dynamics. This leads to oxidative stress, nutrient imbalances, and stunted growth, reducing crop yields. Hydroxyapatite (HP) has been previously explored for its role in soil remediation and nutrient management, but its potential in alleviating dye-induced oxidative stress in crop plants has not been reported until now. This study is the first to demonstrate that HP can be repurposed as a dual-function biocompatible amendment to both adsorb MB and mitigate its phytotoxic effects in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings. Wheat seedlings were hydroponically exposed to MB (20 mg L−1 and 40 mg L−1), and key physiological and biochemical parameters were assessed. MB stress significantly reduced chlorophyll a (54%), chlorophyll b (52%), and carotenoids (40%), while increasing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by 35%–56% and malondialdehyde (MDA) by 109% at MB40 treatment. HP (1 mg L−1) application improved dry weight (89%) and seedling length (68%), enhanced chlorophyll a (108%), chlorophyll b (84%), and carotenoids (65%), while reducing H2O2 (32%) and MDA (48%). Additionally, HP enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, including ascorbate peroxidase (155%), catalase (88%), and peroxidase (55%) under MB stress. HP alleviated growth inhibition and oxidative stress by causing enhancement of the activity of the enzymes and related metabolites of the xenobiotic detoxification system and the secondary metabolism pathway. These findings suggest that HP effectively alleviates MB-induced oxidative stress, improving photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant defense mechanisms. This research supports HP as a sustainable amendment to enhance crop resilience in contaminated agricultural systems.

Scientific Reports, 2025
Tuta absoluta is one of the most destructive pests of tomatoes. Chemical insecticides used to control this leafminer harm all organisms, increasing the risk to public health and the environment. Developing natural alternatives, such as bioinsecticides formulated from essential plant oils, is a key strategy to address this problem. These volatile compounds, derived from the secondary metabolic pathways of plants, exhibit targeted activity against specific pest species. Their use is consistent with an environmentally responsible framework that reduces adverse impacts on ecosystems, protects non-target organisms, safeguards human health, and enhances the efficacy of integrated crop management systems. This study aims to determine the chemical composition of the essential oils (EOs) of from round leaf mint (Mentha rotundifolia) and crown chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium) and to evaluate their toxicity to T. absoluta larvae in-vitro. The chemical composition of EOs obtained by steam distillation from the leaves of the plants was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Indeed, 77 volatile compounds representing 98.19% of the total oil of M. rotundifolia, including cyclobutane acetonitrile, 1-methyl-2-(1-methyl ethenyl)-, terpinene-4-ol, p-menthane, germacrene D, caryophyllene and myrcene, were the main compounds. However, farnesene, myrcene, eugenol, germacrene D, phytol, and pinene were significant components among 69 compounds representing 95.39% of the total oil of C. coronarium. Results showed that the EOs were toxic to the different larval stages. According to the Finney method, concentrations 2.88 and 1.07% are the LC50 of M. rotundifolia and C. coronarium oils, which induce 50% mortality of T. absoluta within 7 days of exposure. Statistical analysis of in-vitro tests showed that both EOs had a similar level of insecticidal efficacy by contact. The overall results showed that the oils used have been shown to have an important insecticidal effect and can be used as a source of biological and natural treatment against tomato leafminer (TLM).

Potential effect of non-nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis on growth promotion of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under salt stress

Scientific Reports, 2025
Numerous microalgae have been used as modern eco-friendly biostimulants under abiotic stress conditions; however, the application of non-nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria, such as Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) has not been extensively investigated. In this study, the effects of A. platensis (60 mg/L) applied twice as a foliar application on the growth, photosynthetic pigments, and oxidative metabolism of Triticum aestivum seedlings grown under salt stress (150 mM) were evaluated. Under salt stress conditions, growth attributes such as shoot and roots fresh weights, lengths, and photosynthetic pigments were significantly inhibited compared to the control group. Treatment with A. platensis effectively improved all growth parameters. Under salt stress conditions, shoot fresh weight and length increased by 49% and 44%, respectively, while root fresh weight and length were enhanced by 105% and 223%. The contents of chlorophyll a, b, and carotenoids in wheat were significantly reduced by 57%, 35%, and 43%, respectively. Additionally, seedlings exposed to salinity showed improved accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA), along with decreased peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity. Spirulina extract (SPE) mitigated salt and induced oxidative stress by enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, SPE protected wheat seedlings from the detrimental effects of H2O2 by promoting secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Additionally, SPE increased the proline content by 25%, aiding in the regulation of osmotic stress. Taken together, the results of this study support the application of A. platensis as an effective biostimulant for improving wheat growth and food security by reducing the harmful impacts of salt stress in semi-arid regions.
Deciphering the mitigating role of silicon on tomato seedlings under lambda cyhalothrin and difenoconazole coexposure

Scientific Reports, 2025
The multiple contamination of pesticides are common in farmland soil. However, there is a noteworthy knowledge gap regarding the ecophysiological response of co-exposure of pesticides on non-target crops under such conditions. Silicon (Si) was chosen to alleviate pesticides phytotoxicity due to its ability to improve plant growth and adaptive responses against xenobiotics exposure. This study explores the mechanisms of combined effects of lambda-cyhalothrin (CM), a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and difenoconazole (DIF), a systemic triazole fungicide induced phytotoxicity and the potential of Si to alleviate CM + DIF toxicity by regulating growth, redox homeostasis, and antioxidant defense in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings. The results showed that tomato growth and chlorophyll biosynthesis was significantly inhibited by individual and combined stress of CM and DIF, possibly due to induced oxidative stress. Interestingly, the extent of lipid peroxidation was much higher under CM and DIF co-exposure than under CM and DIF only, as indicated by MDA level, thus indicating the synergistic effect of pesticide on oxidative damage. Moreover, pesticide exposure significantly improved ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, reduced glutathione, and proline in tomato seedlings compared to control. Our study demonstrates that Si improves tomato seedling's tolerance to CM + DIF toxicity by enhancing pesticides metabolism through GSH-GST detoxification enzymes. Si supply also enhanced PAL activity and stimulated reactions in the phenylpropanoid pathway to produce phenolic and flavonoids in tomato seedlings under CM + DIF stress. Si promotes chlorophyll biosynthesis and reinforces the antioxidative system, thereby maintaining redox homeostasis and overall seedling growth under CM and DIF co-exposure. The findings provide valuable information about the underlying mechanisms of Si-mediated CM and DIF co-exposure response with potential use as effective bio-stimulants in agriculture to address pesticides phytotoxicity issues.
