Silicon (Si) has an important function in reducing the damage of environmental stress on
plants. Acid rain is a serious abiotic stress factor, and Si can alleviate the stress induced by …

Abstract Arsenate [As (V)] is toxic to nearly all organisms. Soil-borne As (V) enters plant cells
mainly through the plasma membrane-localized phosphate (Pi) transporter PHT1 family …

Cadmium uptake, tissue localization and structural changes induced at cellular level are
essential to understand Cd tolerance in plants. In this study we have exposed plants of …
