Serine-mediated alleviation of chromium-induced phytotoxicity of two wheat cultivars: a multivariate and dose–response statistical assessment
License: cc BY 4.0Keywords: chromium stress; Triticum aestivum; serine; three-way ANOVA; linear mixed-effects model; dose-response modelling; principal component analysis; MANOVAAbstract Chromium (Cr) contamination can impair wheat growth and metabolism, while serine may modulate plant stress responses.
