“…However, the coordination of Me n+ with two O atoms of the carboxylate groups of PCs is also possible, e.g., in p -coumaric acid [ 207 ]; Universal affinity of PCs in relation to different Me n+ in both cationic and anionic forms: During the systematizing of the experimental and literature data, we revealed that PC ligands from various subgroups form complexes with 69 Me n+ ions (63 chemical elements; Table 1 , Figure 1 ). Binding to PCs is a characteristic of/universal for the elements differing in their roles in plants: Essential macronutrients (Ca, Mg, K) and essential micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Cu, B, Mo), which are necessary for the plant life cycle, cannot be substituted by other elements and are directly involved in plant metabolism [ 208 ]; Beneficial elements (Al, Co, Na, Se) that promote the growth of various plant species, but are not essentially required for the completion of the plant life cycle [ 209 , 210 ]; Non-essential metal(loid)s that are not involved in primary plant metabolism; Rare earth elements (REEs), which include the lanthanide group with 15 elements ( Figure 2 ). The complexation of PC ligands with 11 elements essential for human life (Na, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se) has also been confirmed [ 211 ].…”

Plant adaptive strategies have been shaped during evolutionary development in the constant interaction with a plethora of environmental factors, including the presence of metals/metalloids in the environment. Among adaptive reactions against either the excess of trace elements or toxic doses of non-essential elements, their complexation with molecular endogenous ligands, including phenolics, has received increasing attention. Currently, the complexation of phenolics with metal(loid)s is a topic of intensive studies in different scientific fields. In spite of the numerous studies on their chelating capacity, the systemic analysis of phenolics as plant ligands has not been performed yet. Such a systematizing can be performed based on the modern approach of metallomics as an integral biometal science, which in turn has been differentiated into subgroups according to the nature of the bioligands. In this regard, the present review summarizes phenolics–metal(loid)s’ interactions using the metallomic approach. Experimental results on the chelating activity of representative compounds from different phenolic subgroups in vitro and in vivo are systematized. General properties of phenolic ligands and specific properties of anthocyanins are revealed. The novel concept of metallophenolomics is proposed, as a ligand-oriented subgroup of metallomics, which is an integrated approach to study phenolics–metal(loid)s’ complexations. The research subjects of metallophenolomics are outlined according to the methodology of metallomic studies, including mission-oriented biometal sciences (environmental sciences, food sciences and nutrition, medicine, cosmetology, coloration technologies, chemical sciences, material sciences, solar cell sciences). Metallophenolomics opens new prospects to unite multidisciplinary investigations of phenolic–metal(loid) interactions.

“…This is particularly relevant when managing beneficial elements in agriculture. Aluminium (Al), cobalt (Co), selenium (Se), silicon (Si), and sodium (Na), when supplied to plants in low or limited concentrations (such as the ones promoted within sustainable agriculture), can bring beneficial outcomes in certain crops, such as growthpromoting effects [14]. Hence, they are not considered essential elements for species to survive but have an important role in plant biology, including the ability to balance the toxicity and the beneficial effect of one another, as is the case of Al and Si or Na [15].…”

Agricultural systems are constantly under environmental pressure, and the continuous rise of the global population requires an increasingly intensification of agronomical productivity. To meet the current global food demand, particularly in depleted ecosystems under adverse climate conditions, the development of novel agronomical practices, which ensure crop productivity while safeguarding minimal impact to the environment, must be encouraged. Since aluminium (Al), cobalt (Co), selenium (Se), silicon (Si) and sodium (Na) are not essential to plant metabolism, their benefits are often neglected or underestimated in agriculture; however, several studies support their advantages in sustainable agriculture when properly employed. The agronomical uses of these elements have been studied in the last decades, delivering important cues for the improvement of food and feed production worldwide due to beneficial effects in plant growth and productivity, nutrient balance, pest and pathogen resistance, water stress management, heavy-metal toxicity alleviation, and postharvest performance. However, their application has not been addressed as part of a holistic conservation strategy that supports the sustainability of agroecosystems. Here, we discuss the potential use of these elements in sustainable agriculture, and the knowledge gaps that hinder their effective integration into agronomical practices, which result in equally profitable applications while supporting environmental sustainability.

“…Thereafter, elements in the plant also play great role in formation of secondary metabolites and other physiological functions. Many repots revealed the significant role of elements in physiological function and proper growth of the plant's vis a vis improvement of the bioactive components in the plant body which further enhances the therapeutic or medicinal properties (Kheyrkhah et al, 2018;Lo Piccolo et al, 2021). Based on the concept, the present study was carried out with the herbal plant.…”

Belosynapsis vivipara (Dalzell) C.E.C. Fisch. (F: Commelinaceae) is one of the rare plant species located throughout Western Ghats regions including Karnataka. Though the plant was described earlier but traditional uses and scientific evidences are still lacking. The aim of the present study was to identify the elemental content and to determine antibacterial potentiality of Belosynapsis vivipara (Bv) ethanol leaves extract. Shade dried powdered material of BV leaves was estimated for elemental content using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) followed by extraction by ethanol solvent (80%) in Soxhlet apparatus for 13 hrs at 45 °C. Extract was further used for anti-bacterial screening. In vitro antibacterial studies on the leaf extracts (25, 50 and 75 µg/ml) were carried out on medically important micro-organisms of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram negative) and Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus pyogenes (Gram positive) against standard Ampicillin (25 µg/ml). The powdered drug showed the presence of zinc, and Copper in high amount less content of iron, whereas very less content of Nickel and Cobalt and absence of lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium. The preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of chemical constituents like alkaloids, flavonoids, phyto sterols, saponins and phenolics. Furthermore, ethanol leaves extract of BV showed broad spectrum antibacterial efficacy against both Gram positive and Gram-negative microorganism along with the dose dependency effects. Antibacterial activity was correlated with the elements and showed positive correlation. Finally, Belosynapsis vivipara (Dalzell) C.E.C. Fisch. leaves were established as an effective source against strong bacterial infection.
