Presence of heavy metals in agricultural soils is of major environmental concern and a great
threat to life on the earth. A number of human health risks are associated with heavy metals …

Rapid industrialisation, increased rate of waste production, higher agricultural inputs,
mining, industrial waste, and contaminated irrigation water are increasing the heavy metal …

An experiment was performed to explore the interactive impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles
(ZnO NPs) and cadmium (Cd) on growth, yield, antioxidant enzymes, Cd and zinc (Zn) …

Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as potential agents for agriculture as
fertilizers, growth enhancers and pesticides. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that …

Zinc (Zn) is plant micronutrient, which is involved in many physiological functions, and an
inadequate supply will reduce crop yields. Its deficiency is the widest spread micronutrient …

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its subsequent transfer to
food chain is a major environmental issue worldwide. Understanding wheat response to Cd …

Contamination of agricultural soils with heavy metals present lethal consequences in terms
of diverse ecological and environmental problems that entail entry of metal in food chain …

Cadmium (Cd) is an inorganic mineral in the earth's crust. Cadmium entry into the
environment occurs through geogenic and anthropogenic sources. Industrial activities …

Rice has lower zinc (Zn) but higher cadmium (Cd) content in grains than other staple crops.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in Zn and Cd transportation could …

Due to the large area of agricultural soils contaminated by Cd worldwide, cost-effective and
