Toxic metal contamination of soil is a major environmental hazard. Chemical methods for
heavy metal's (HMs) decontamination such as heat treatment, electroremediation, soil …

The mobilization of heavy metals by man through extraction from ores and processing for
different applications has led to the release of these elements into the environment. Since …

Hyperaccumulators are unusual plants that accumulate particular metals or metalloids in
their living tissues to levels that may be hundreds or thousands of times greater than is …

Background Plants that accumulate metal and metalloid trace elements to extraordinarily
high concentrations in their living biomass have inspired much research worldwide during …

When plants are subjected to high metal exposure, different plant species take different
strategies in response to metal-induced stress. Largely, plants can be distinguished in four …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Nickel even though recognized as a trace element, its metabolism is very decisive for certain
enzyme activities, maintaining proper cellular redox state and various other biochemical …

Approximately 500 species of plants are known to hyperaccumulate heavy metals and
metalloids. The majority are obligate metallophytes, species that are restricted to …

Environmental pollution affects the quality of pedosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere,
lithosphere and biosphere. Great efforts have been made in the last two decades to reduce …

Nickel is an essential nutrient for plants. However, the amount of Ni required for normal
growth of plants is very low. Hence, with the level of Ni pollution in the environment …
