The impact of engineered nanomaterials on plants, which act as a major point of entry of
contaminants into trophic chains, is little documented. The foliar pathway is even less known …

Abstract Engineered TiO 2 nanoparticles (TiO 2-NPs) are present in a large variety of
consumer products, and are produced in largest amount. The building industry is a major …

Silicon (Si) plays a pivotal role in mitigating phytotoxicity caused by cadmium (Cd). However,
few former reports focused on the internal mechanism how Si assisted in alleviating Cd …

Phytochelatins (PCs) are short Cys-rich peptides with repeating γ-Glu-Cys motifs found in
plants, algae, certain fungi, and worms. Their biosynthesis has been found to be induced by …

Microalgae have emerged as one of the most promising feedstocks for biofuels and bio‐
based chemical production. However, due to the lack of effective tools enabling rapid and …

Whilst there are a variety of methods available for the quantification of biothiols in sample
extracts, each has their own inherent advantages and limitations. The ease with which thiols …

Various nitric oxide modulators (NO donors-SNP, GSNO, DEA NONOate and scavengers–
PTIO, cPTIO) were tested to highlight the role of NO under Cd excess in various ontogenetic …

The impact of two concentrations (10 and 100 μM) of cadmium (Cd) and nitric oxide (NO)
donor (sodium nitroprusside, SNP) alone or together on green alga Coccomyxa …

This study investigated the dynamic variations in thiol compounds, including cysteine (Cys),
glutathione (GSH), and phytochelatins (PCs), in Dunaliella salina samples exposed to …

Aquatic environments like peat bogs are affected by anthropogenic metal input into the
environment. These ecosystems are inhabited by unicellular green algae of the class …
