Glucosinolates are secondary defense metabolites produced by plants of the order
Brassicales, which includes the model species Arabidopsis and many crop species. In the …

Free of human interference the soil trace element content is largely dependent on that of the
soil parent material and acting weathering processes. An increasingly industrialised society …

The concept of hormesis in plants is critically reviewed, taking growth stimulation by low
concentrations of toxic trace elements as a reference. The importance of both non-adaptive …

The role of glucosinolates in aboveground plant–insect and plant–pathogen interactions has
been studied widely in both natural and managed ecosystems. Fewer studies have …

The metabolism of sulphur in angiosperms is reviewed under the aspect of exposure to
ecologically relevant concentrations of sulphur, heavy metals and metalloids. Because of the …

The effects of varying concentrations of cadmium (Cd) on the development of Lycopersicon
esculentum cv. Micro‐Tom (MT) plants were investigated after 40 days (vegetative growth) …

In recent decades, serious contamination of soils by heavy metals has been reported. It is
therefore a matter of urgency to develop a new and efficient technology for removing …

The biosphere is polluted with metals due to burning of fossil fuels, pesticides, fertilizers, and
mining. The metals interfere with soil conservations such as contaminating aqueous waste …

Extraordinarily high leaf metal concentrations in metal hyperaccumulator plants may serve
as an elemental defence against herbivores. However, mixed results have been reported …

To evaluate the variations in the nutritional components of a broccoli cultivar under saline
stress, two different NaCl concentrations (40 and 80 mM) were assayed. Glucosinolates …
