dc.description.abstractA global scourge, heavy metals (HMs) toxicity with high concentration causes reactive oxygen species (ROS) to attack key biological molecules and has emerged in the past few years, posing a serious threat to human lives and ecosystems and agriculture. In plants, HMs alter the genome and genetic structure and eventually affect their protein and enzyme activities which further impede cellular metabolism. Therefore the growing body of scientific research is emphasizing green synthesis, that is, biostimulants use as the nexus of biotechnology and fertilizer that can be viewed as novel, efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective tools to safeguard the detrimental effects on ecosystems. In this regard, this chapter aims to scrutinize the role of various biostimulants against abiotic stresses using various biostimulants including seaweed extracts, protein hydrolysates, humic acids, and fulvic acids. The microbial-based stimulants are also discussed in this chapter. A list of biological processes has also been highlighted as prime targets for removing heavy metal(loid)s toxicity using biotechnological interventions. The biostimulants enhance growth and improve stress tolerance ability in plants. A table of targeted biotechnological attributes is also provided. Recently, a steep rise in interest in biostimulants is driving the development of sustainable green economics and agricultural concepts, while increasing demand for new products and understanding their mechanism of action is increasing. Further, the increasing demand for innovative biostimulants products and an interest in understanding their mechanisms of action will drive HM-free green economics and agricultural sustainability in the coming days. � 2023 Elsevier Inc.
