Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient for plant growth and development and
sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. The metal is an essential …

Heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cd, Zn, Hg and arsenic are for long being
accumulated in soils through industrial waste and sewage disposal. Although some of these …

Rice is a major dietary source of the toxic metal, cadmium (Cd). Previous studies reported
that the rice transporter, OsNRAMP1,(Natural resistance‐associated macrophage protein 1) …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, and has noxious effects on
plant growth and production. Cd-accumulating plants showed reduced growth and …

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 …

Micronutrients like copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are essential for
plants, and their functions are tightly linked for vital metabolism. The normal concentration …

Many trace metals are essential micronutrients, but also potent toxins. Due to natural and
anthropogenic causes, vastly different trace metal concentrations occur in various habitats …

The main mechanism of plant tolerance is the avoidance of metal uptake, whereas the main
mechanism of hyperaccumulation is the uptake and neutralization of metals through specific …
