Toxic heavy metals and metalloids in agricultural ecosystems are crucial factors that limit
global crop productivity and food safety. Industrial toxic heavy metals and metalloids such as …

The specific recognition of pathogen effectors by intracellular nucleotide-binding and
leucine-rich repeat domain receptors (NLRs) is an important component of plant immunity …

Abscisic acid (ABA) reduces accumulation of potentially toxic cadmium (Cd) in plants. How
the ABA signal is transmitted to modulate Cd uptake remains largely unclear. Here, we …

Cadmium (Cd) is a biologically non-essential and toxic heavy metal leaking to the
environment via natural emission or anthropogenic activities, thereby contaminating crops …

Excessive application of chemical fertilizers can lead to serious environmental problems. In
this study, we explored the use of nanobubble water for irrigation of crop rice as a means of …

Metallochaperones are key proteins for the safe transport of metallic ions inside the cell.
HIPP s (heavy metal‐associated isoprenylated plant proteins) are metallochaperones that …

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination threatens food safety and human health, particularly in
developing countries. Previously, we have proposed that boron (B) could reduce Cd uptake …

The structurally conserved but sequence-unrelated MAX (Magnaporthe oryzae avirulence
and ToxB-like) effectors AVR1-CO39 and AVR-PikD from the blast fungus M. oryzae are …

Metallochaperones are a class of unique protein families that was originally found to interact
with cellular metal ions by metal delivery to specific target proteins such as metal enzymes …

The mechanisms plants use to transport metals from roots to shoots are not completely
understood. It has long been proposed that organic molecules participate in metal …
