The diets of over two‐thirds of the world's population lack one or more essential mineral
elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation …

Practically all human populations are environmentally exposed to cadmium (Cd), mostly
through plant-derived food. A growing body of epidemiological evidence suggests that there …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

Background Plants that accumulate metal and metalloid trace elements to extraordinarily
high concentrations in their living biomass have inspired much research worldwide during …

Plant traits–the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Background Plants require at least 14 mineral elements for their nutrition. These include the
macronutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) …

This article reviews the responses of plant roots to elevated rhizosphere cadmium (Cd)
concentrations. Cadmium enters plants from the soil solution. It traverses the root through …

Abstract Background Selenium (Se) is an essential mineral element for animals and
humans, which they acquire largely from plants. The Se concentration in edible plants is …

The functions of iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, boron, and chlorine in
