Integrative biochar and melatonin application mitigates lead toxicity in rice by modulating antioxidant activities and iron plaque formation and downregulating the expression of metal uptake genes

Lead (Pb) is a common toxic metal that causes severe health and environmental problems. However, the defensive role and underlying mechanism of combined biochar (BC) and melatonin (MT) against Pb stress are still unclear. Therefore, to fill this gap, this study investigated the impacts of BC and MT...
