The present study aimed to show that nickel and fluoride exhibited synchronized co-inhibited uptake in the aromatic rice cultivar, Gobindobhog, since bioaccumulation of the two elements was lower than that during individual stress, so that overall growth under combined stress was similar to control seedlings. On the contrary, lead and fluoride stimulated their co-uptake which triggered oxidative damages, NADPH oxidase activity, methylglyoxal accumulation, photosynthetic inhibition, membrane-protein damages, necrosis and genomic template degradation. Accumulation of proline, anthocyanins, non-protein thiols and phytochelatins was stimulated for systemic protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and xenobiotic-mediated injuries during lead-fluoride toxicity. ROS accumulation during nickel-fluoride stress was insignificant due to which enhanced accumulation of most antioxidants was not required. Glutathione depletion during combined lead-fluoride toxicity was due to its utilization in the glyoxalase cycle and also inhibition of glutathione reductase. However, the nickel-fluoride-treated sets maintained glutathione reserves and glyoxalase activity similar to those in control. Presence of fluoride 'safeguarded' the glutathione-utilizing enzymes like glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase during dual lead-fluoride stress. This was because these enzymes showed higher activity compared to that under lead toxicity alone. Enzymatic antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase were activated during lead-fluoride toxicity due to altered iron and copper homeostasis. Catalase activity was strongly inhibited, resulting in the inability to scavenge H2O2 and suppression of the fluoride-adaptable phenotype. However, none of the enzymatic antioxidants were inhibited during nickel-fluoride stress, which cumulatively allowed the seedlings to maintain normal physiology. Overall our findings holistically reveal the physiological plasticity of Gobindobhog in response to two different heavy metals under the influence of fluoride.

The present manuscript investigates the roles of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) in ameliorating fluoride toxicity in the susceptible rice cultivar, IR-64. Fluoride toxicity reduced overall growth and yield by suppressing grain development. Fluoride stress alarmingly increased the accumulation of cobalt, which together with fluoride triggered electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde, methylglyoxal and hydrogen peroxide accumulation and NADPH oxidase activity. The overall photosynthesis was compromised due to chlorosis and inhibited Hill activity. Nano-Si-priming efficiently ameliorated molecular injuries and restored yield by reducing fluoride bioaccumulation particularly in the grains. The level of non-enzymatic antioxidants like anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolics and glutathione was stimulated upon SiNP-priming. Nano-Si-pulsing removed fluoride-mediated inhibition of glutathione synthesis by activating glutathione reductase. Glutathione was utilized to activate glyoxalases and associated enzymes like glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. Uptake of nutrients like silicon, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, nickel, manganese, selenium and vanadium improved seedling health even during prolonged fluoride stress. Nano-Si-pulsing produced a nanozymatic effect, since high level of crucial co-factors like copper, zinc and iron stimulated the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase, which synergistically with other enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants scavenged reactive oxygen species and promoted fluoride tolerance. Overall, the study supported by statistical modelling using principal component analysis, t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding and multidimensional scaling, established the potential of SiNP to promote safe rice cultivation and precision farming even in fluoride-infested environments.
