Abstract Heavy metal contamination in the environment, resulting from human activities or natural processes, poses a significant and widespread challenge. L-glutamic (L-glu) and L-aspartic acid (L-asp) treatments have been reported to improve plant metabolism of heavy metal-exposed plants, but the role of these amino acids in the resistance to lead (Pb2+), cadmium (Cd2+), arsenic (As3+) and nickel (Ni2+) treated-bean are unclear when applied together. This study investigated the L-glu and L-asp supplementation-induced changes in some physio-biochemical parameters and some stress-related gene expression levels in Pb2+, Cd2+, As3+, and Ni2+-stressed Phaseolus vulgaris (Elkoca and Gina) grown in nutrient solution. The combination of… More >
