Cadmium (Cd) is an unessential trace element in plants that is ubiquitous in the
environment. Anthropogenic activities such as disposal of urban refuse, smelting, mining …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a normal product of plant cellular
metabolism. Various environmental stresses lead to excessive production of ROS causing …

The paper summarizes present knowledge in the field of higher plant responses to
cadmium, an important environmental pollutant. The principal mechanisms reviewed here …

The aim of this review is to assess the mode of action and role of antioxidants as protection
from heavy metal stress in roots, mycorrhizal fungi and mycorrhizae. Based on their …

The occurrence of heavy metals in soils may be beneficial or toxic to the environment. The
biota may require some of these elements considered essentials (like Fe, Zn, Cu or Mo) in …

The effect of growing pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants with CdCl2 (0–50 μM) on different plant
physiological parameters and antioxidative enzymes of leaves was studied in order to know …

Heavy metals are important environmental pollutants and their toxicity is a problem of
increasing significance for ecological, evolutionary, nutritional, and environmental reasons …

This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to
2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact …

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 contamination of soils and water with metals has created a major environmental
problem, leading to considerable losses in plant productivity and hazardous health effects …
