Exogenous acetylcholine alleviates cadmium-induced phytotoxicity by modulating photosynthetic metabolism and antioxidant potential in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana)

Acetylcholine (ACh) plays a potential role in mediating various physiological processes in plants. However, the involvement of acetylcholine in cadmium (Cd) stress tolerance is unknown. Cd stress caused a decline in biomass, pigment, and photosynthetic capacity in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. A sig...
