Heavy metal toxicity has become an impediment to agricultural productivity, which presents
major human health concerns in terms of food safety. Among them, arsenic (As) a non …

Heavy metal and metalloid contamination of the environment due to natural processes,
industrialization, and anthropogenic activities pose a serious problem, threatening the …

Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As)-hyperaccumulator that may be employed in phytoremediation
of As-contaminated soils. P. vittata-associated microbiome are adapted to elevated As and …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) system represents one of the most unfavorable habitats for
microorganisms due to its low pH and high concentrations of metals. Compared to bacteria …

Mining disturbances alter soil edaphic factors, modifying soil biogeochemical processes and
thus impacting the soil microbiome. The objectives of this study were (1) to identify the …

Phytoextraction is a cost-effective and eco-friendly technology to remove arsenic (As) from
contaminated soil using plants and associated microorganisms. Pteris vittata is the most …

Arsenic (As) is toxic and ubiquitous in the environment, posing a growing threat to human
health. As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata has been used for phytoremediation of As …

The extensive application of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) causes
their frequent detection in various environments. In this work, two typical PFASs …

Hormesis refers to positive biological effects caused by exposure to low doses of a stressor
known to be toxic at higher doses. These effects include an enhanced defense system and …

Pteris vittata, as the firstly discovered arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator, has great application
value in As-contaminated soil remediation. Currently, the genes involved in As …
