Mitigating Chromium-Induced Toxicity in Wheat Using Quantum Dots: Physiological, Biochemical, and Seed Composition Responses in SKD-1 and Borlaug-16 Cultivars

Key Points

• Improved seed composition observed in wheat cultivars treated with quantum dots, indicating protection against chromium toxicity.
• Analysis revealed significant changes in physiological and biochemical responses associated with chromium exposure in both SKD-1 and Borlaug-16 cultivars.
• Assessment using quantum dots highlighted their role in alleviating chromium-induced stress effects, enhancing overall plant health.
• Further investigation needed to confirm long-term effects and applicability across different wheat varieties, given the focus on specific cultivars.
