Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal pollutant primarily introduced into the environment through anthropogenic activities. In plants, the absorption and retention of Cd lead to a cascade of morphological, physiological, and cytological alterations. Nigella sativa L., also known as black cumin, is an annual herb with important commercial and medicinal uses. Thymoquinone, the primary bioactive compound in Nigella sativa L., is renowned for its potential health benefits. The current experiment aimed to ascertain the effects of various concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ppm) of cadmium nitrate (Cd(NO3+)2) on two Nigella sativa cultivars (AN20 and… More >
