Melatonin-loaded silica nanoparticles alleviate cadmium toxicity in Solanum lycopersicum L. by regulating chlorophyll fluorescence, gas-exchange, physio-biochemical attributes, antioxidant defense and metal-uptake.

Cadmium (Cd) is readily absorbed by plants and translocated to various tissues, impairing physiological functions. This study evaluated the agronomic and physio-biochemical responses of two tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) varieties Sahara and Samar…
