PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 390-405, March 2026.Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of
