Main conclusion This review highlights the most recent updated information available about
Zn phytotoxicity at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels, uptake mechanisms as …

Heavy metal (HM)-accumulating herbaceous and woody plants are employed for
phytoremediation. To develop improved strategies for enhancing phytoremediation …

Bark tissue of Populus× canescens can hyperaccumulate cadmium, but microstructural,
transcriptomic, and physiological response mechanisms are poorly understood …

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study whether exogenous abscisic acid (ABA)
mediates the responses of poplars to excess zinc (Z n). P opulus× canescens seedlings …

Plant cells maintain plasmatic concentrations of essential heavy metal ions, such as iron,
zinc, and copper, within the optimal functional range. To do so, several molecular …

Metals such as cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni) are essential for normal
plant growth and development since they contribute to the function of many enzymes and …

Lead (Pb) toxicity is a growing serious environmental pollution that threatens human health
and crop productivity. Poplar, as an important economic and ecological forest species, has …

Trace metal elements are essential for plant growth but become toxic at high concentrations,
while some non-essential elements, such as Cd and As, show toxicity even in traces. Thus …

The soils in mining lands with cadmium (Cd) contamination usually are deficient in nutrients.
Disclosing how P nutrition and N: P stoichiometric ratio influences Cd accumulation and …

Uptake of hazardous metal (loid) s adversely affects plants and imposes a threat to the entire
food chain. Here, the role of aquaporins (AQPs) providing tolerance against hazardous …
