Toxic metal contamination of soil and water significantly affects agricultural productivity …

Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

Heavy metal toxicity is heavily damaging constraint to quality and productivity of crops these
days. Plants exposed to heavy metals (HMs) contaminated sites respond at cellular …

Worldwide, the effects of metal and metalloid toxicity are increasing, mainly due to
anthropogenic causes. Soil contamination ranks among the most important factors, since it …

Environmental pollution of heavy metals (HMs), mainly due to anthropogenic activities, has
received growing attention in recent decades. HMs, especially the non-essential …

Recent years have witnessed a gradual increase in the bioavailability and groundwater
leaching of toxic heavy metals (HMs) in the environment, driven mainly by anthropogenic …

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 …

The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution,
leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant …

Heavy metal (HM) accumulation in the agricultural soil and its toxicity is a major threat for
plant growth and development. HMs disrupt functional integrity of the plants, induces altered …

Modulation of plant proteome composition is an inevitable process to cope with the
