Assessing the impact of Cadmium (Cd) on plant cells requires an understanding of the
defensive mechanisms and adaptive responses employed by plants to counteract the …

The non-essential heavy metal cadmium (Cd) prevents rice seed germination and seedling
growth when it is present in micromolar concentrations. To mitigate the effects of Cd toxicity …

Change in climate of the entire globe due to elevated temperature and minimum annual
