| Özet |
| BackgroundZinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, yet excessive or deficient Zn levels can disrupt physiological processes and reduce yield by impairing photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and antioxidant balance. Grafting has been proposed as a promising strategy to enhance plant resilience against abiotic stresses, including heavy metal toxicity, by improving root system efficiency, regulating hormone signaling, and enhancing antioxidant defense. This study aimed to investigate the effects of grafting and different rootstocks on mineral uptake, biochemical responses, and metabolic adjustments in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants exposed to zinc stress under controlled greenhouse conditions.ResultsUnder zinc-deficient conditions, manganese (Mn) content increased to 26.3 mg/kg in plants grafted onto the TZ148 rootstock, which was approximately 135% higher than in non … |
