Plants take up a wide range of trace metals/metalloids (hereinafter referred to as trace
metals) from the soil, some of which are essential but become toxic at high concentrations …

Heavy metal (HM)-mediated toxic effects on plants have attained considerable attention
worldwide as they directly threaten the food supply chain. Although various measures have …

Background This study assessed the effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL, 10–7 M) and silicon
(2 mM) on the alleviation of cadmium (Cd, 150 mg L–1) toxicity in Pisum sativum L …

Heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic components of
atmospheric particles. These pollutants induce a wide variety of responses in plants, leading …

The continuous increase in the heavy metals concentration in the soil due to anthropogenic
activities has become a global issue. The chromium, especially hexavalent chromium, is …

Heavy metals are an interesting group of trace elements (TEs). Some of them are minutely
required for normal plant growth and development, while others have unknown biological …

Among abiotic stress, the toxicity of metals impacts negatively on plants' growth and
productivity. This toxicity promotes various perturbations in plants at different levels. To …

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination is a global environmental issue facing agriculture. Under
certain conditions, the stable Cd that bound to soil particles tend to be remobilized and …

Microorganisms are cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative methods for removing heavy
metals (HM) from contaminated agricultural soils. Therefore, this study aims to identify and …

Due to their stationary nature, plants are exposed to a diverse range of biotic and abiotic
stresses, of which heavy metal (HM) stress poses one of the most detrimental abiotic …
