This study investigates the modulatory effects of glutamic acid (GA) on <em>Olea europaea</em> (olive) seedlings subjected to cadmium stress.

Cd exposure significantly reduced plant growth, as evidenced by decreased root length (3.5 cm) and shoot length (9 cm) compared to control plants (5 cm and 12 cm, respectively). Additionally, Cd stress led to a reduction in chlorophyll content (16.2 mg/g fresh weight) and elevated oxidative markers like H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and MDA. The application of GA significantly improved plant growth and physiological parameters, with statistically significant increases in root length (up to 6.5 cm) and shoot length (up to 14 cm) in the combined treatment group (<em>p</em> ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, GA treatment led to a marked elevation in total chlorophyll content (up to 27.5 mg/g fresh weight), compared to 16.2 mg/g in Cd-stressed plants (p ≤ 0.05), reflecting a significant improvement in photosynthetic efficiency. GA also elevated the antioxidant enzyme activity catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD), reducing oxidative stress by decreasing hydrogen peroxide and MDA levels.

This research provides valuable insights into using glutamic acid as a possible approach to mitigate heavy metal stress in plants, offering implications for agriculture and environmental management in Cd-contaminated areas.
