“…By studying the tolerance mechanism of these plants and the genes involved in it, the information obtained can be used in biofortification topics under the transgenic approach. Bio-enrichment strategy with the aim of identifying genomic regions in medicinal plants can have industrial-pharmaceutical applicability in breeding programs, as well as the importance of flavonoids such as flavonols and anthocyanins due to their biological activity against COVID-19 was noticed ( D’Amelia et al., 2021 ).…”

Biofortification is the supply of micronutrients required for humans and livestock by various methods in the field, which include both farming and breeding methods and are referred to as short-term and long-term solutions, respectively. The presence of essential and non-essential elements in the atmosphere, soil, and water in large quantities can cause serious problems for living organisms. Knowledge about plant interactions with toxic metals such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb), is not only important for a healthy environment, but also for reducing the risks of metals entering the food chain. Biofortification of zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) is very significant in reducing the effects of toxic metals, especially on major food chain products such as wheat and rice. The findings show that Zn- biofortification by transgenic technique has reduced the accumulation of Cd in shoots and grains of rice, and also increased Se levels lead to the formation of insoluble complexes with Hg and Cd. We have highlighted the role of Se and Zn in the reaction to toxic metals and the importance of modifying their levels in improving dietary micronutrients. In addition, cultivar selection is an essential step that should be considered not only to maintain but also to improve the efficiency of Zn and Se use, which should be considered more climate, soil type, organic matter content, and inherent soil fertility. Also, in this review, the role of medicinal plants in the accumulation of heavy metals has been mentioned, and these plants can be considered in line with programs to improve biological enrichment, on the other hand, metallothioneins genes can be used in the program biofortification as grantors of resistance to heavy metals.

“…In the process of agricultural production activities, the most important thing is to improve the yield of crops, to ensure that agricultural producers can obtain the desired economic benefits through agricultural cultivation 301–303 . Therefore, to promote the continuous breakthrough and development of agriculture, it is necessary to study the existing agricultural production technology and ensure the yield of crops by using high‐yielding crop cultivation technology scientifically and reasonably from the actual situation of agricultural development 304,305 . TENG can also be used as a crop growth promotion technology to promote seed germination and increase crop yield.…”

Rapid iterations of sensing, energy, and communication technologies transform traditional agriculture into standardized, intensive, and smart modern agriculture. However, the energy supply challenge for the plentiful sensors or other microdevices constraints the extensive application of intelligent technologies in agriculture. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which efficiently converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through contact electrification and electrostatic induction, is considered a promising way to build next-generation intelligent energy supply networks. By efficiently harvesting low-frequency mechanical energy from the agricultural environment, including wind, rain, and water flow energy, TENGs can be a strong contender for distributed power for microdevice networks in smart agriculture. In addition, highly customizable TENGs can be combined with microdevices in agriculture to enable self-powered agricultural monitoring and production strategy adjustment. By deeply exploring the application potential of TENG in agriculture, it is conducive to further promoting unmanned production, refinement, and intelligence of agricultural production and enhancing agriculture's ability to combat natural risks.

“…Plants have beneficial biomedical effects due to their natural properties [33,42]. Plants are inexpensive and available sources of medicinal compounds that by changing the growth conditions and the effect of various stimulants, the production of medicinal molecules and their effect can be increased several times [3,12,41,43]. The antiviral effects of many plants have been proven.…”

Background The new coronavirus (COVID-19) has been transmitted exponentially. Numerous studies have been performed in recent years that have shown the inhibitory effect of plant extracts or plant-derived compounds on the coronavirus family. In this study, we want to use systematic review and meta-analysis to answer the question, which herbal compound has been more effective? Main body The present study is based on the guidelines for conducting meta-analyzes. An extensive search was conducted in the electronic database, and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, articles were selected and data screening was done. Quality control of articles was performed. Data analysis was carried out in STATA software. Conclusion Due to the variety of study methods, definitive conclusions are not possible. However, in this study, we attempted to gather all the available evidence on the effect of plant compounds on SARS-COV-2 to be used for the development and use of promising antiviral agents against this virus and other coronaviruses. Trypthantrin, Sambucus extract, S. cusia extract, Boceprevir and Indigole B, dioica agglutinin urtica had a good effect on reducing the virus titer. Also among the compounds that had the greatest effect on virus inhibition, Saikosaponins B2, SaikosaponinsD, SaikosaponinsA and Phillyrin, had an acceptable selectivity index greater than 10. Andrographolide showed the highest selectivity index on SARS-COV-2. Our study confirmed insufficient data to support alkaloid compounds against SARS-COV-2, and the small number of studies that used alkaloid compounds was a limitation. It is recommended to investigate the effect of more alkaloid compounds against Corona virus.
