Zinc (Zn) is a necessary element for plants, but excess Zn can be detrimental. To investigate
Zn toxicity, rapeseed (Brassica napus) seedlings were treated with 0.07–1.12 mM Zn for 7d …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate antioxidative responses and proline metabolism in
roots and leaves of wheat seedlings after treatment with different zinc (Zn) concentrations (0 …

Zinc (Zn) is a necessary element for plants, but excess Zn can be detrimental. The effect of
Zn and high irradiance (HI) stress on the growth, lipid peroxidation (MDA), membrane …

Although hormesis induced by heavy metals is a well-known phenomenon, the involved
biological mechanisms are not fully understood. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for …

Cadmium (Cd) reduces plant growth by interfering with important plant metabolic processes
at the physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels. Here, the effects of foliar application …

Abstract Background and Aims Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient naturally present in
soils, but anthropogenic activities can lead to accumulation in the environment and resulting …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants, but accumulation of excess Zn causes
oxidative stress, even though the element is not redox-active. An oxidative stress signature …

Investigations were carried out to study the enzymatic detoxification of high concentration of
oxygen species in shoots of Brassica juncea (Brassicaceae) seedlings raised on mineral …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for higher plants; yet, at higher concentrations it is
toxic. In order to explore the effect of Zn stress on growth, biochemical, physiological and …

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of cadmium-zinc (Cd-Zn)
interactions on their uptake, oxidative damage of cell macromolecules (lipids, proteins, DNA) …
