Constructed wetland (CW) represents an efficient eco-technological conglomerate
interweaving water security, energy possibility and environmental protection. In the context …

Plants take up a wide range of trace metals/metalloids (hereinafter referred to as trace
metals) from the soil, some of which are essential but become toxic at high concentrations …

摘要讨论了二个问题:(1) 重金属对植物伤害效应及伤害机理. 其中包括重金属对植物细胞质膜透
性, 水分代谢, 光合作用, 呼吸作用, 碳水化合物代谢, 氮素代谢, 核酸代谢, 植物激素等生理生化 …

Presence of heavy metals in agricultural soils is of major environmental concern and a great
threat to life on the earth. A number of human health risks are associated with heavy metals …

Cadmium is a non-essential trace metal, which is highly toxic to nearly all living organisms.
Soil pollution causes Cd contamination of crops, thereby rendering plant products …

Rapid industrialisation, increased rate of waste production, higher agricultural inputs,
mining, industrial waste, and contaminated irrigation water are increasing the heavy metal …

Toxic trace metals are ecotoxic due to their high bioaccumulation and toxicity, acting as
abiotic stress agents, causing oxidative damage to the plant cells. Plants can recognize …

Phytochelatins (PCs) are small cysteine-rich peptides capable of binding metal (loid) s via
SH-groups. Although the biosynthesis of PCs can be induced in vivo by various metal (loid) …

When plants are exposed to stressful environmental conditions, the production of Reactive
Oxygen Species (ROS) increases and can cause significant damage to the cells. Antioxidant …

Heavy metal (HMs) contamination is widespread globally due to anthropogenic,
technogenic, and geogenic activities. The HMs exposure could lead to multiple toxic effects …
