“…Similarly, mercury-defiled soil exhibited an elevation of phenolics in maize roots [ 63 ]. This result is also consistent with that of Soundari et al [ 50 ], who stated that cadmium stimulates tomatoes TPC. El-Beltagi and Mohamed [ 64 ] manifested comparable results, too, where an increase in the proline and TPC contents was noticed in the seedlings of T. foenum-graecum treated with Pb and Cd.…”

“…The content progressively increased after treating the plant with S. ginsenosidiumtans and Ag nanoparticles and their combination. These results align with other literature where proline content was increased when plants faced various stresses where the plant cells have some antioxidants (non-enzymatic) such as proline embroiled in the antioxidant defense responses of plants to Ag nanoparticles, which mitigates the harmful effects of ROS [ 50 ]. Elevation of proline levels under stress shows that proline as a cytoplasmic osmolyte prevented protein denaturation [ 51 ].…”

Heavy metals are primarily generated and deposited in the environment, causing phytotoxicity. This work evaluated fenugreek plants’ morpho-physiological and biochemical responses under mercury stress conditions toward Ag nanoparticles and Sphingobacterium ginsenosidiumtans applications. The fabrication of Ag nanoparticles by Thymus vulgaris was monitored and described by UV/Vis analysis, FTIR, and SEM. The effect of mercury on vegetative growth was determined by measuring the root and shoots length, the number and area of leaves, the relative water content, and the weight of the green and dried plants; appraisal of photosynthetic pigments, proline, hydrogen peroxide, and total phenols content were also performed. In addition, the manipulation of Ag nanoparticles, S. ginsenosidiumtans, and their combination were tested for mercury stress. Here, Ag nanoparticles were formed at 420 nm with a uniform cuboid form and size of 85 nm. Interestingly, the gradual suppression of vegetal growth and photosynthetic pigments by mercury, Ag nanoparticles, and S. ginsenosidiumtans were detected; however, carotenoids and anthocyanins were significantly increased. In addition, proline, hydrogen peroxide, and total phenols content were significantly increased because mercury and S. ginsenosidiumtans enhance this increase. Ag nanoparticles achieve higher levels by the combination. Thus, S. ginsenosidiumtans and Ag nanoparticles could have the plausible ability to relieve and combat mercury’s dangerous effects in fenugreek.
