Exploring the Potential of Moringa Leaf Extract for Mitigation of Cadmium Stress in Triticum aestivum L.

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals accumulated in wheat grains. Daily intake Cd through food posing serious health problems. There an urgent need to reduce uptake and accumulation other cereal crops. In this study, we investigated potential moringa leaf extract (MLE) decreasing effects (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. A.S. 2002. Sowing was carried out pots under shade natural light conditions. Two concentrations (500 µM 1000 µM) were applied with without MLE (0 3%). Results revealed that plant growth parameters viz diameter stem, number leaves, area, photosynthetic pigments improved application stress. Moreover, biochemical attributes osmolytes such as total soluble sugars, proteins, phenolic content flavonoids negatively effected by stress treatment. enhanced phytotoxicity higher ROS observed both conditions, whereas after MDA H2O2 significantly decreased. Based on current observations, effective mitigating biological promoting mineral contents wheat. Further experiments are needed for discovering molecular mechanisms underlying host interactions involved mitigation.
