Environmental contamination with arsenic (As) is a global environmental, agricultural and
health issue due to the highly toxic and carcinogenic nature of As. Exposure of plants to As …

Heavy metal (HM) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stresses leading to hazardous effects in
plants. A common consequence of HM toxicity is the excessive accumulation of reactive …

Electronic waste is an important part of solid waste management around the world. Being a
large part of the solid waste, e-waste contains numerous hazardous components in the form …

Background Rice is particularly effective, compared to other cereals, at accumulating arsenic
(As), a nonthreshold, class 1 human carcinogen in shoot and grain. Nano-zinc oxide is …

The two forms of inorganic arsenic, arsenate (AsV) and arsenite (AsIII), are easily taken up
by the cells of the plant root. Once in the cell, AsV can be readily converted to AsIII, the more …

Abiotic stresses impact growth, development, and productivity, and significantly limit the
global agricultural productivity mainly by impairing cellular physiology/biochemistry via …

Arsenic (As) is an environmental and food chain contaminant. Excessive accumulation of As,
particularly inorganic arsenic (As i), in rice (Oryza sativa) poses a potential health risk to …

Heavy metals such as Cu and Zn are essential for normal plant growth, although elevated
concentrations of both essential and non‐essential metals can result in growth inhibition and …

Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous metalloid that is highly toxic to all living organisms. When grown
in As-contaminated soils, plants may accumulate significant amounts of As in the grains or …

This review is on arsenic in agronomic systems, and covers processes that influence the
entry of arsenic into the human food supply. The scope is from sources of arsenic (natural …
