Enhancing sunflower resilience: Zinc-solubilizing bacteria mitigate cadmium uptake and translocation
Ecology, environmental change and management
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly hazardous metal known for its easy absorption and accumulation in plants, particularly in edible vegetable oils. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) holds global significance as an oil crop. This study aims to assess the potential of zinc-solubilizing bacterial strains in...
