The spread of heavy metal (loid) s at soil-food crop interfaces has become a threat to
sustainable agricultural productivity, food security, and human health. The eco-toxic effects …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, salt and heat cause reduction of plant growth and
loss of crop yield worldwide. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide …

Plants have to counteract unavoidable stress-caused anomalies such as oxidative stress to
sustain their lives and serve heterotrophic organisms including humans. Among major …

Halophytes have demonstrated their capability to thrive under extremely saline conditions
and thus considered as one of the best germplasm for saline agriculture. Salinity is a …

Xylem hydraulic failure has been recognized as a pervasive factor in the triggering of
drought-induced tree mortality. However, foundational evidence of the mechanistic link …

Concerns about emerging environmental contaminants have been growing along with
industrialization and urbanization around the globe. Among various options for remediating …

Heavy metal (HM) pollution is extremely deleterious because of the toxicity they exert on
human beings, animals, and plants. HMs are recalcitrant to degradation, and hence …

Drought‐induced tree mortality has major impacts on ecosystem carbon and water cycles,
and is expected to increase in forests across the globe with climate change. A large body of …
