Heavy metal exist naturally in environment, but due to human and some natural activities
they have been entered to water bodies, air and soil and have become one of the major …

Background In response to various environmental stresses, many plant species synthesize L-
proline in the cytosol and accumulates in the chloroplasts. L-Proline accumulation in plants …

Wastes are the major source of soil pollution originates from mining, chemical, metal
processing industries, and other allied industries. These wastes include varieties of …

When exposed to stressful conditions, plants accumulate an array of metabolites, particularly
amino acids. Amino acids have traditionally been considered as precursors to and …

Concentrations of heavy metals in soil seldom reach a level sufficient to cause osmotic
disturbances in plants. It is likely that water entry to the roots is indirectly governed by other …

Increasing heavy metal (HM) concentrations in the soil have become a significant problem in
the modern industrialized world due to several anthropogenic activities. Heavy metals (HMs) …

In the past few decades, cadmium (Cd) as soil contaminant is a major problem for the
mankind. Cd contamination of soil and food crops is a critical environmental concern as it …

Metal contamination issues are becoming increasingly common in India and elsewhere, with
many documented cases of metal toxicity in mining industries, foundries, smelters, coal …

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

Plants exposed to heavy metals accumulate an array of metabolites, some to high millimolar
concentrations. This review deals with N-containing metabolites frequently preferentially …
