Heavy metal contamination poses significant challenges to sustainable viticulture, necessitating innovative approaches to protect grapevine health and productivity. However, comprehensive evaluations of antioxidant-mediated protection against cadmium toxicity in integrated physiological systems remain scarce. We assessed mineral homeostasis, organic acid metabolism, and sugar accumulation in three-year-old Vitis vinifera L. cv...

Drought is a significant abiotic stress that adversely affects plant growth, development, and metabolic processes, posing a global threat to food security. In recent years, nanotechnology has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate environmental challenges and has been tested on various plant species; however, its application to grapevines remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the potential of silicon...

High lime content in agricultural soils poses a significant challenge to crop production, particularly in viticulture. Due to the persistent and detrimental effects of lime stress on plant growth, the present study investigated the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 -NPs) to mitigate lime-induced stress in 1103 Paulsen American grapevine rootstock. We examined the effects of Fe₃O₄-NPs (0, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 ppm) und...
