Nanotechnology is a tool that in the last decade has demonstrated multiple applications in
several sectors, including agroindustry. There has been an advance in the development of …

Microplastics have become predominant contaminants, attracting much political and
scientific attention. Despite the massively-increasing research on microplastics effects on …

Although hormesis induced by heavy metals is a well-known phenomenon, the involved
biological mechanisms are not fully understood. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for …

Current research in basic and applied knowledge of plant science has aimed to unravel the
role of the interaction between environmental factors and the genome in the physiology of …

Understanding the molecular mechanism of tolerance to heavy metals in hyperaccumulators
is important for improving the efficiency of phytoremediation and is interesting for …

Hormesis in photosystem II (PSII) that is observed in appropriately planned studies is a dose
or-time-response relationship to a disruption of homeostasis illustrated by U-shaped …

Cadmium (Cd) is a potentially hazardous element with substantial biological toxicity,
adversely affecting plant growth and physiological metabolism. Therefore, it is necessary to …

Phytohormones, including auxin, abscisic acid, gibberellic acid, ethylene, cytokinin,
brassinosteroids, salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid, provide beneficial effects for plants …

The present paper provides the first integrative assessment of the occurrence of nitric oxide
(NO) induced hormetic effects in plant biology. Hormetic dose responses were commonly …

Hormesis is a biphasic dose–response relationship with contrasting effects of low versus
high doses of stress. Hormesis is rapidly develo** in plant science research and has wide …
