This work focuses on phytochelatins (PCs) in plants chronically exposed to low or moderate
metal concentrations in soil, which commonly occurs in natural environments. The original …

Phytochelatins (PCs) were determined in the wild plants, focusing on their relationship with
the levels of heavy metals and humic substances (HS) in soil. Ricinus communis and …

Heavy metal contaminated soils often show increased levels of more than one metal, eg
copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) or nickel (Ni). In case such soils are used for …

The strategy to identify cadmium deactivation mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana has been
developed using selective and sensitive hyphenated techniques. Cadmium concentrations …

Phytochelatins and glutathione are known as the most common peptides responsible for
binding with toxic metals in plants, but recently the role of other bioligands, such as proteins …

Contamination of soils with heavy metals becomes more and more a problem in many
countries all over the world. In areas where metal contaminated soils are used for food crop …

Hordeum vulgare plants were stressed with Hg, Cd and As and their phytotoxicity was
evaluated in terms of growth inhibition and total metal uptake by the plant. The synthesised …

Cadmium (Cd) is a well known heavy metal considered as one of the most toxic metals on
Earth, affecting all viable cells that are exposed even at low concentration. It is introduced to …

The bioaccumulation of Pt, Pd and Rh by grass grown hydroponically with nutrient solutions
containing these ions at elevated (38.7 mg l− 1 Pt, 21.7 mg l− 1 Pd and 7.1 mg l− 1 Rh) and …

Phytochelatins (PCs) are known to play an essential role in the heavy metal detoxification of
some higher plants and fungi by chelating heavy metals. However, three recent papers …
