This review summarizes the current knowledge about the general toxicity of thallium (Tl) and
its environmental sources, with special emphasis placed on its potential mutagenic …

The systematic study of genotoxicity in plants induced by contaminants and other stress
agents has been hindered to date by the lack of reliable and robust biomarkers. The comet …

Soil salinity is severely affecting crop productivity in many countries, particularly in the
Mediterranean area. To evaluate early plant responses to increased salinity and …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the productivity of Brassica crops. To
understand the role of phytohormones in drought tolerance, we subjected Chinese cabbage …

Thallium (Tl) is a toxic heavy metal responsible for noxious effects in living organisms. As a
pollutant, Tl can be found in the environment at high concentrations, especially in industrial …

Although considered as “green” solvents, the toxic effects of ionic liquids (ILs) on organisms
have been widely investigated in recent years. However, studies on the toxic effects of ILs on …

Dittrichia plants were exposed to thallium (Tl) stress (10, 50, and 100 µM) for 7 days. The Tl
toxicity altered the absorption and accumulation of other nutrients. In both the roots and the …

Thallium acetate (TI) is a cumulative poison intimately accompanied by an increase in
reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation that represents an important risk factor for tissue …

The present experiment was designed to evaluate physico-chemical characteristics and
phyto-genotoxicity of arsenic (As) contaminated soil collected from different sites of …

Salinity is one of major abiotic stresses affecting Brassica crop production. Here we present
investigations into the physiological, biochemical, and hormonal components of the short …
