Heavy metals such as Cu and Zn are essential for normal plant growth, although elevated
concentrations of both essential and non‐essential metals can result in growth inhibition and …

Transition metals such as copper are essential for many physiological processes yet can be
toxic at elevated levels. Other metals (eg lead) are nonessential and potentially highly toxic …

Heavy metals, such as cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc, are essential in
trace amounts for growth by plants and other living organisms. However, in excessive …

Plant growth and metabolisms are regulated by some heavy metals found in Earth's crust
because they are active constituents of various enzymes. However, their increased …

Heavy metals are naturally occurring in the earth's crust but anthropogenic and industrial
activities have led to drastic environmental pollutions in distinct areas. Plants are able to …

Heavy metals are required in plants as essential micronutrients or act as toxic compounds.
How do plants perceive heavy metals and which signalling cascades are triggered leading …

Metals like zinc, iron and copper are essential micronutrients required for a wide range of
physiological processes in all plant organs for the activities of various metal-dependent …

A relatively small group of hyperaccumulator plants is capable of sequestering heavy metals
in their shoot tissues at high concentrations. In recent years, major scientific progress has …

Plants, like all other organisms, have evolved different mechanisms to maintain
physiological concentrations of essential metal ions and to minimize exposure to non …

Background, aim, and scope Trace elements (heavy metals and metalloids) are important
environmental pollutants, and many of them are toxic even at very low concentrations …
