Plants detoxify toxic metal (loid) s by accumulating diverse metabolites. Beside scavenging
excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by metal (loid) s, some metabolites chelate …

In nature, heavy metal (HM) stress is one of the most destructive abiotic stresses for plants.
Heavy metals produce toxicity by targeting key molecules and important processes in plant …

Main conclusion A critical investigation into arsenic uptake and transportation, its phytotoxic
effects, and defense strategies including complex signaling cascades and regulatory …

Abstract Arsenate [As (V)] is a metalloid with heavy metal properties and is widespread in
many environments. Dietary intake of food derived from arsenate-contaminated plants …

Thioredoxins (TRXs), a large subclass of ubiquitous oxidoreductases, are involved in thiol
redox regulation. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of TRXs in the Arabidopsis …

Living systems are built from a small subset of the atomic elements, including the bulk
macronutrients (C, H, N, O, P, S) and ions (Mg, K, Na, Ca) together with a small but variable …

An increase in environmental pollution resulting from toxic heavy metals and metalloids [eg,
cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and lead (Pb)] causes serious health risks to humans and …

Boron (B) toxicity is one of the limiting factors affecting plant growth. Previous studies
showed that silicon (Si) application could alleviate B toxicity. However, there is limited …

During climate change, various unparalleled perils to agricultural systems have been
observed worldwide. The detrimental impacts of heavy metal toxicity (HMs) lead to a …

Some plant species tolerate and accumulate high levels of metals or metalloids in their
tissues. The elemental defence hypothesis posits that metal (loid) hyperaccumulation by …
