Mechanisms to cope with arsenic or cadmium excess in plants
N Verbruggen, C Hermans, H Schat - Current opinion in plant biology, 2009 - Elsevier
The metalloid arsenic and the heavy metal cadmium have no demonstrated biological
function in plants. Both elements are highly toxic and of major concern with respect to their …

Arsenic uptake and metabolism in plants
Arsenic (As) is an element that is nonessential for and toxic to plants. Arsenic contamination
in the environment occurs in many regions, and, depending on environmental factors, its …

Mechanisms of arsenic assimilation by plants and countermeasures to attenuate its accumulation in crops other than rice
Arsenic is a ubiquitous metalloid in the biosphere, and its origin can be either geogenic or
anthropic. Four oxidation states (− 3, 0,+ 3 and+ 5) characterize organic and inorganic As …

Toxic heavy metal and metalloid accumulation in crop plants and foods
Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are toxic elements that are almost ubiquitously present
at low levels in the environment because of anthropogenic influences. Dietary intake of plant …

[HTML][HTML] Arsenic and cadmium accumulation in rice and mitigation strategies
Abstract Background Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic elements that have a
relatively high risk of transfer from paddy soil to rice grain. Rice is a major dietary source of …

Arsenic toxicity in plants: cellular and molecular mechanisms of its transport and metabolism
Abstract Arsenic (As), a naturally-occurring metalloid, is not essential for plant growth, but it
can accumulate in plants to toxic levels. As a result, it can enter the food chain and pose …

[HTML][HTML] Arsenic uptake, toxicity, detoxification, and speciation in plants: physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects
Environmental contamination with arsenic (As) is a global environmental, agricultural and
health issue due to the highly toxic and carcinogenic nature of As. Exposure of plants to As …

Arsenic as a food chain contaminant: mechanisms of plant uptake and metabolism and mitigation strategies
Arsenic (As) is an environmental and food chain contaminant. Excessive accumulation of As,
particularly inorganic arsenic (As i), in rice (Oryza sativa) poses a potential health risk to …

Arsenic toxicity in crop plants: physiological effects and tolerance mechanisms
Heavy metals are toxic substances released into the environment, contributing to a variety of
toxic effects on living organisms in food chain by accumulation and biomagnifications …

Arsenic hazards: strategies for tolerance and remediation by plants
Arsenic toxicity has become a global concern owing to the ever-increasing contamination of
water, soil and crops in many regions of the world. To limit the detrimental impact of arsenic …
