Copper (Cu) is an essential element for humans and plants when present in lesser amount,
while in excessive amounts it exerts detrimental effects. There subsists a narrow difference …

Copper (Cu) is an essential metal for human, animals and plants, although it is also
potentially toxic above supra-optimal levels. In plants, Cu is an essential cofactor of …

Soil contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is an increasing environmental
problem, posing serious threats to the living organisms. Phytoremediation is a sustainable …

This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to
2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact …

Plants are confronted with a variety of environmenmtal stresses resulting in enhanced
production of ROS. Plants require a threshold level of ROS for vital functions and any …

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for plants, which plays an important role in
photosynthesis, respiration and antioxidant system. It is a vital component of many enzymes …

Here, we describe functional characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana MYB4 transcription
factor, a member of R2R3-subfamily of MYB domain protein, in the regulation of Cd-stress …

Cadmium (Cd) extrusion is an important mechanism conferring Cd tolerance by decreasing
its accumulation in plants. Previous studies have identified an Arabidopsis ABC transporter …

We investigated the physiological and biochemical mechanisms by which H2S mitigates the
cadmium stress in rice. Results revealed that cadmium exposure resulted in growth …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) can relieve Cd phytotoxicity and improve plant growth,
but the mechanisms involved in this process have still been not completely known. In the …
