Role of spirulina algae in reducing the effects of environmental stress on plants

Environmental stress, such as drought, salinity, high temperature, and heavy metal toxicity, is a major concern for crop productivity worldwide. Spirulina, a blue-green microalga, has been found to have beneficial effects on plant growth and stress tolerance. In this paper, we review the current literature on the role of spirulina in reducing the effects of environmental stress on plants. We discuss the potential mechanisms by which spirulina improve stress tolerance, including the regulation of antioxidant enzymes, modulation of gene expression, enhancement of nutrient uptake, and hormonal regulation. We also highlight the potential applications of spirulina in sustainable agriculture, including its use as a biofertilizer, biostimulant, and biopesticide
