Heavy metal toxicity is one of the major concerns for agriculture and health. Accumulation of
toxic heavy metals at high concentrations in edible parts of crop plants is the primary cause …

Microorganisms, particularly extremophiles, have evolved multiple adaptation mechanisms
to address diverse stress conditions during survival in unique environments. Their …

Manganese is an essential micronutrient for plant growth but can be toxic to plants when it
reaches excessive levels. Although metal tolerance proteins (MTPs), which belong to the …

Mineral elements, including manganese (Mn), are indispensable for plant growth and
development. However, plants cultivated on acidic soils are vulnerable to Mn 2+ toxicity due …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential microelement, but overaccumulation is harmful to many
plant species. Most plants have similar minimal Mn requirements, but the tolerance to …

Metal tolerance proteins (MTP) as divalent cation transporters are essential for plant metal
tolerance and homeostasis. However, the characterization and the definitive phylogeny of …

Ion homeostasis is maintained in plant cells by specialized transporters. However, functional
studies on Mn transporters in apple trees have not been reported. MdMTP11. 1, which …

Background Brassica juncea behaves as a moderate-level accumulator of various heavy
metal ions and is frequently used for remediation. To investigate the roles of metal ion …

Similar to all living organisms, plants require appropriate supplies of metal micronutrients for
their normal metabolism, growth, and development. Plants being sessile in nature respond …

A specific group of proteins known as metal tolerance proteins (MTPs) and also called cation
diffusion facilitators (CDFs) plays an important role in the homeostasis and tolerance of …
