“…These values are similar to those reported for Cr [22], and for Ni and Co [21]. Generally, legumes have exclusion mechanisms (binding to root cell walls and/or chelation by root exudates) by which they can sequester PTMs in roots and hinder their transfer to the aerial parts [54,55]. Therefore, the berseem plant has been known as a good candidate for phytofiltration to prevent the leaching of toxic metals to groundwater [57,58].…”

“…+ for H + or uptake of NH 3 , leaving H + behind [54]. As a result, a sizeable excess of metal uptake occurs with the concomitant acidification of the rhizosphere [55]. The rather similar magnitudes of metal accumulation in roots and soils demonstrate that the berseem plants can survive at high concentrations of essential and/or toxic metals [21,56].…”

“…However, metal translocation to shoots in legumes is facilitated mainly by complexing the metal with low-molecular-weight chelators, i.e., organic acids, phytochelatins, and histidine [51,53]. Therefore, legumes, especially berseem plants, have been known to have high potential for metal extraction from polluted soils [21,22,55]. The berseem plant produces multiple harvests in the same season, which enhances its capability for phytoremediation [21].…”

Accumulation of Potentially Toxic Metals in Egyptian Alluvial Soils, Berseem Clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), and Groundwater after Long-Term Wastewater Irrigation

The reduced availability of water resources in Egypt has imposed the need to intensify the use of wastewater for crop irrigation in the alluvial soils of anthropogenic origin. Relevant effects can derive from contents of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in supply resources soils, crops, and groundwater in these areas. For this reason the PTM content has to be monitored to evaluate and minimize health hazards. Therefore, in this context, two areas of the SE Nile Delta subjected to 25 year of wastewater irrigation, using agricultural drainage water (ADW) and mixed wastewater (MWW) were chosen and compared with a nearby site irrigated with Nile freshwater (NFW). At each of the three sites, ten samples of irrigation water, topsoil, berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) plants, and seven groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn. Results indicate that the total contents of Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn in soils collected from the three sampling sites and Pb in the MWW-irrigated soils were higher than their average natural contents in the earth’s crust, indicating potential risks. The DTPA-extractable contents of Cu in the three sites, in addition to Pb and Zn in the MWW-irrigated soils, exceeded the safe limits. The MWW-irrigated soils showed a considerable degree of metal contamination, while the NFW- and ADW-irrigated soils showed moderate and low levels of contamination, respectively. The contents of the six PTMs in the three sites showed low individual ecological risks, except for Pb in the MWW-irrigated soils that showed a moderate risk; however, the overall ecological risk remained low in all samples. The values of Co, Cu, and Ni in berseem shoot in addition to Pb from the MWW-irrigated soils were over the maximum permissible levels for animal feeding. Values of root-to-shoot translocation factor were lower than 1.0 for Cr, Co and Ni but higher than 1.0 for Cu, Pb, and Zn. Berssem plant is a good candidate for phytofiltration of Cr, Co and Ni, while for extracting Cu, Pb and Zn from polluted soils. The groundwater samples collected from the three sampling sites showed lower metal concentrations than the safe limits for drinking standards. Further remediation studies should be taken into account to alleviate potential environmental and health-related risks when using supply resources different from freshwater.

“…It has been reported that proline defends the plant against drought and HS in tobacco plants (Fahad et al 2017). Moreover, the effect of proline as a defendant against different stresses in pea (Shahid et al 2014), tomato (Kahlaoui et al 2018), lentil (Molla et al 2014), and common bean is also documented (Mahmud et al 2020). Glycine betaine is also important for osmoregulation in the plant, which also plays an important role in protecting the plant against heat, drought, and salinity.…”

Climate change seriously impacts global agriculture, with rising temperatures directly affecting the yield. Vegetables are an essential part of daily human consumption and thus have importance among all agricultural crops. The human population is increasing daily, so there is a need for alternative ways which can be helpful in maximizing the harvestable yield of vegetables. The increase in temperature directly affects the plants’ biochemical and molecular processes; having a significant impact on quality and yield. Breeding for climate-resilient crops with good yields takes a long time and lots of breeding efforts. However, with the advent of new omics technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, the efficiency and efficacy of unearthing information on pathways associated with high-temperature stress resilience has improved in many of the vegetable crops. Besides omics, the use of genomics-assisted breeding and new breeding approaches such as gene editing and speed breeding allow creation of modern vegetable cultivars that are more resilient to high temperatures. Collectively, these approaches will shorten the time to create and release novel vegetable varieties to meet growing demands for productivity and quality. This review discusses the effects of heat stress on vegetables and highlights recent research with a focus on how omics and genome editing can produce temperature-resilient vegetables more efficiently and faster.

“…Importantly, selected plants should have high tolerance to PTEs, rapid growth rate, great biomass yield, and an extensive root system [ 5 ]. In this context, the employment of legume-species in phytoremediation seems to be promising [ 6 , 7 ]. Among these species, hairy vetch ( Vicia villosa Roth.…”
