“…Table 1 represents the various sources of lead contamination in agricultural soils, crops, and water in different countries/regions of the world. It is evidenced in Table 1 that the anthropogenic products and processes (such as industrial, oil-processing activities, agrochemicals, paint, smelting, mining, refining, informal recycling of lead, cosmetics, peeling window and door frames, jewelry, toys, ceramics, pottery, plumbing materials and alloys, water from old pipes, vinyl mini-blinds, stained glass, lead-glazed dishes, firearms with lead bullets, batteries, radiators for cars and trucks, and some colors of ink) are considered to be major sources of Pb contamination in the environment [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Generally, plants uptake metal ions from soils through their roots [17,18,20]. Pb from the soil solution is adsorbed (unevenly) through roots and is bound with the uronic acid/polysaccharide of rhizoderm in many plant species such as Brassica juncea [70], Festuca rubra [71], Funaria hygrometrica [72,73], Lactuca sativa [74], and Vigna unguiculata [68].…”

Lead (Pb) toxicity has been a subject of interest for environmental scientists due to its toxic effect on plants, animals, and humans. An increase in several Pb related industrial activities and use of Pb containing products such as agrochemicals, oil and paint, mining, etc. can lead to Pb contamination in the environment and thereby, can enter the food chain. Being one of the most toxic heavy metals, Pb ingestion via the food chain has proven to be a potential health hazard for plants and humans. The current review aims to summarize the research updates on Pb toxicity and its effects on plants, soil, and human health. Relevant literature from the past 20 years encompassing comprehensive details on Pb toxicity has been considered with key issues such as i) Pb bioavailability in soil, ii) Pb biomagnification, and iii) Pb- remediation, which has been addressed in detail through physical, chemical, and biological lenses. In the review, among different Pb-remediation approaches, we have highlighted certain advanced approaches such as microbial assisted phytoremediation which could possibly minimize the Pb load from the resources in a sustainable manner and would be a viable option to ensure a safe food production system.

“…Pathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, and protists are the major biotic factors affecting agricultural production [95,96]. The PGPR can suppress the growth of phytopathogens and other deleterious microorganisms through antagonism by producing antagonistic substances (i.e., siderophores, antibiotics, hydrogen cyanide, and antimicrobial metabolites), parasitism, competing for nutrients and space, producing various lytic enzymes (e.g., chitinases, glucanases, and proteases), and inducing systemic resistance in plants [8,[97][98][99][100][101][102][103]. The PGPR genera, such as Bacillus, Serratia, Streptomyces, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Paenibacillus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Azospirillum, and Azotobacter, are widely utilized to combat the biotic stresses [104][105][106][107].…”

Prospect and Challenges for Sustainable Management of Climate Change-Associated Stresses to Soil and Plant Health by Beneficial Rhizobacteria

et al. 2021

Climate change imposes biotic and abiotic stresses on soil and plant health all across the planet. Beneficial rhizobacterial genera, such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Paraburkholderia, Rhizobium, Serratia, and others, are gaining popularity due to their ability to provide simultaneous nutrition and protection of plants in adverse climatic conditions. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are known to boost soil and plant health through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. However, various issues limit the wider commercialization of bacterial biostimulants, such as variable performance in different environmental conditions, poor shelf-life, application challenges, and our poor understanding on complex mechanisms of their interactions with plants and environment. This study focused on detecting the most recent findings on the improvement of plant and soil health under a stressful environment by the application of beneficial rhizobacteria. For a critical and systematic review story, we conducted a non-exhaustive but rigorous literature survey to assemble the most relevant literature (sorting of a total of 236 out of 300 articles produced from the search). In addition, a critical discussion deciphering the major challenges for the commercialization of these bioagents as biofertilizer, biostimulants, and biopesticides was undertaken to unlock the prospective research avenues and wider application of these natural resources. The advancement of biotechnological tools may help to enhance the sustainable use of bacterial biostimulants in agriculture. The perspective of biostimulants is also systematically evaluated for a better understanding of the molecular crosstalk between plants and beneficial bacteria in the changing climate towards sustainable soil and plant health.

“…It was found that there was a great difference in the rate of biodegradation, and regularity of process outcome differs between in situ and ex situ methods. The ex situ bioremediation cost is reasonably high as compared to in situ due to the cost of uncovering of contaminated samples for treatment (Kumar et al 2019a). Both the bioremediation methods are basically determined by microbial metabolism, but in situ methods are superior over ex situ for ecological reestablishment of contaminated site (Vidali 2001).…”

Plants interact with diverse group of microorganisms in order to digest the metal contents in the soil, and the phenomenon is known as phytoremediation. Plant root metabolites released are a good source of minerals and energy which provide ambient environment for the growth of microbes. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs), such as fungi, bacteria, and yeast, enhance the growth of plant by the uptake of minerals and metals in with the help of enzymes like catalases,
