Heavy metal pollution is a severe concern worldwide, owing to its harmful effects on
ecosystems. Phytoremediation has been applied to remove heavy metals from water, soils …

Plants are able to extract metal (loid) contaminants from the soil or water through their roots
and translocate them to harvestable aerial shoots. Of late, this plant potential has been used …

Being sessile in nature, plants respond to heavy metal stress in the environment in different
ways. The responses include immobilization, exclusion, chelation, and …

The effect of arsenic (25 and 50μM As for 1 and 5d) was analysed in wild type (WT) and
Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh plants deficient in NADPH oxidase C (AtrbohC). The content …

Aims Mechanisms of low cadmium (Cd) accumulations in cultivars of water spinach are
poorly investigated. We aimed to improve understanding of the subcellular biochemical …

Climate change has threatened global food security. There is an unrelenting need to
understand various factors associated with abiotic stress and their response, adaptability …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd 2+) is a toxic heavy metal impairing plant growth and development.
Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase gene (XTH) is involved in the plant response to …

Heavy metals'(HMs') uptake and transport into different crop plants have raised serious
concerns for humans. Various kinds of anthropogenic activities are the major possible …

Water uptake and nutritious mineral utilisation via roots from the soil are the critical
requirements for terrestrial plants that have evolved as the major host organisms on the …

Vegetables are capable of taking up and accumulating heavy metals in their body. The
concentrations of the metals increase as the soil available/background concentration …
