“…To mitigate this damage, reducing the oxidative stress in plants is crucial for maintaining plant health and productivity. One approach to achieve this is by applying Si, as demonstrated by various studies. − Si can alleviate the adverse effects of stress, i.e. , on photosynthesis, by protecting the photosynthetic machinery and regulating photosynthesis-related genes or directly enhancing plant antioxidant defenses and reducing oxidative stress by limiting ROS production .…”

The current study aimed to investigate the impact of silicon (Si) supplementation in the form of Na 2 SiO 3 on the metabolome of peas under normal conditions and following exposure to cadmium (Cd) stress. Si is known for its ability to enhance stress tolerance in various plant species, including the mitigation of heavy metal toxicity. Cd, a significant contaminant, poses risks to both human health and the environment. The study focused on analyzing the levels of bioactive compounds in different plant parts, including the shoot, root, and pod, to understand the influence of Si supplementation on their biosynthesis. Metabolomic analysis of pea samples was conducted using a targeted HPLC/MS approach, enabling the identification of 15 metabolites comprising 9 flavonoids and 6 phenolic acids. Among the detected compounds, flavonoids, such as flavon and quercetin, along with phenolic acids, including chlorogenic acid and salicylic acid, were found in significant quantities. The study compared Si supplementation at concentrations of 1 and 2 mM, as well as Cd stress conditions, to evaluate their effects on the metabolomic profile. Additionally, the study explored the extraction efficiency of three different methods: accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and maceration (MAC). The results revealed that SFE was the most efficient method for extracting polyphenolic compounds from the pea samples. Moreover, the study investigated the stability of polyphenolic compounds under different pH conditions, ranging from 4.0 to 6.0, providing insights into the influence of the pH on the extraction and stability of bioactive compounds.

The integration of nanotechnology in the food industry has shown great potential for addressing challenges in food processing, packaging, and safety. This review explores the role of nanotechnology in enhancing food functioning, focusing on its impact on defense against chemical corrosion, improvement of physical properties, protection of food, detection of foodborne pathogens, defense against allergens, prevention of heavy metal contamination, and inhibition of biofilm formation. Nanoparticles have been identified as effective agents for preventing undesirable chemical reactions in food media, while also improving the stability and shelf life of food products. Additionally, the incorporation of nanomaterials has significantly enhanced the physical properties of food packaging materials, ensuring UV radiation protection and high flame resistance. Nanotechnology has played a crucial role in ensuring food safety by enabling the rapid and precise detection of foodborne pathogens and allergens, thus mitigating potential health risks. Furthermore, nanomaterials have demonstrated their effectiveness in removing heavy metal contaminants from food items and wastewater, contributing to environmental remediation efforts. The use of nanotechnology has also shown promise in inhibiting biofilm formation and preventing bacterial contamination in food processing industries. Despite the promising advancements, challenges related to the potential hazards of certain nanomaterials and their regulatory implications in the food industry need to be addressed. Future research endeavors are expected to focus on further optimizing nanotechnology applications to ensure sustainable and safe practices in the food industry.

Article HistoryThe use of plant growth hormones has become increasingly important in agriculture as they have the potential to improve plant growth, act as slow-release fertilizers, and facilitate targeted delivery of agrochemicals for sustainable crop production. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of Indole acetic acid (IAA) on the growth rate and antioxidant enzyme activities of wheat and tomato plants. Different concentrations of IAA (control, 0.1, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20mmol.L -1 ) were applied for 24 hours using seed priming techniques for wheat and tomato seeds. Our results showed that the application of IAA resulted in enhanced plant height, shoot and root biomass, and leaf area. Chlorophyll (a, b) and total chlorophyll contents were also promoted in wheat and tomato with varying responses. The highest growth level in wheat was recorded at 2.5mmol.L -1 treatment, whereas in tomato, it was recorded at 5mmol.L -1 followed by 10mmol.L -1 treatment. Moreover, the application of IAA significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activities such as Glutathione, Nitric Oxide, and malondialdehyde. These results suggest that IAA has a different effect on wheat and tomato seed priming, indicating that it may increase plant growth and development in different responses.
