Heavy metal (HM) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stresses leading to hazardous effects in
plants. A common consequence of HM toxicity is the excessive accumulation of reactive …

The rapid increase in the contamination of the environment by toxic metals (TMs) and
metalloids is posing serious threats to biotic communities. Plants are among the organisms …

Plants are exposed to myriad of abiotic stresses such as salt stress, heavy metal, ozone, UV-
B radiation, low and high temperatures, drought, and many more which are posing threats to …

Unprecedented bioaccumulation and biomagnification of heavy metals (HMs) in the
environment have become a dilemma for all living organisms including plants. HMs at toxic …

Abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, clilling, heavy metal are the major limiting factors
for crop productivity. These stresses induce the overproduction of reactive oxygen species …

Heavy metal (HMs) contamination is widespread globally due to anthropogenic,
technogenic, and geogenic activities. The HMs exposure could lead to multiple toxic effects …

Abstract Glutathione (GSH; γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is a small intracellular thiol
molecule which is considered as a strong non-enzymatic antioxidant. Glutathione regulates …

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 …

Plants experience oxidative stress upon exposure to heavy metals that leads to cellular
damage. In addition, plants accumulate metal ions that disturb cellular ionic homeostasis. To …

Glutathione is an essential metabolite for plant life best known for its role in the control of
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione is also involved in the detoxification of …
