Effects of Soil Application of Chitosan and Foliar Melatonin on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Heavy Metals Accumulation in Wheat Growing on Wastewater Polluted Soil

Abstract: Due to freshwater scarcity in developing countries, irrigating the arable land with wastewater poses potential ecological risks to the environment and food quality. Using cheap soil amendments and foliar application of a newly discovered molecule “melatonin” (ML) can alleviate these effects. The objectives of this pot study were to evaluate the effectiveness of the sole addition of chitosan (CH) and sugar beet factory lime (SBL) in wastewater impacted soil, foliar application of ML, and combining each soil ame… Show more

“…In particular, it can trigger the response of the plant defense system to abiotic stressors, playing a vital role in boosting plants' tolerance to harsh environmental conditions (Tripathi et al 2022, Karumannil et al 2023). The application of melatonin has been found to enhance yield and quality of crops subjected to abiotic stresses by alleviating the effects of the stresses, including salt (Ke et al 2018), drought (Cui et al 2017), chilling (Sun et al 2018), and heavy metal exposure (Dradrach et al 2022). Melatonin is currently recognized as a natural biostimulator that plays a significant role in regulating wheat yield (Ye et al 2020, Ghasemzadeh et al 2022), increasing the antioxidant capacity (Kurt‐Celebi et al 2023), and reducing the oxidative damages in wheat seedlings under heat stress (Buttar et al 2020, Sehar et al 2023).…”

“…Such stress affects crucial metabolic processes, including glucose, lipid, and protein synthesis (Rajabi Dehnavi et al 2020). Moreover, soil pollution with heavy metals like Cd, Cr, and Al poses significant risks, causing oxidative stress, enzyme inhibition, and harm to cellular structure (Sun et al 2020, Dradrach et al 2022). Heat stress, from temperatures exceeding plant optimal growth conditions, results in protein denaturation and increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (Lin et al 2022), while cold stress affects cell membrane flexibility, enzymatic functions, and may lead to ice crystal formation within cells (Manasa S et al 2022).…”
