- The Impact of Lead-contaminated Soil on Eruca sativa Plants (2026) · Journal of Biology and Life Science · doi
Future research should investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying lead tolerance, evaluate the long-term effects of Pb²⁺ accumulation on plant productivity and food safety, and explore strategies such as soil amendments or microbial inoculation to enhance plant tolerance and reduce lead uptake under contaminated soil conditions.
