sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. The metal is an essential …

Heavy metal pollution in soil is a global problem with serious impacts on human health and
ecological security. Phytoextraction in phytoremediation, in which plants uptake and …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding endogenous small RNAs (long 20–24
nucleotides) that negatively regulate eukaryotes gene expression at post-transcriptional …

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that is highly toxic for plants, animals, and human beings. A
better understanding of the mechanisms involved in Cd accumulation in plants is beneficial …

Background Metal homeostasis is critical for plant growth, development and adaptation to
environmental stresses and largely governed by a variety of metal transporters. The plant …

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 …

Genetic transformation has emerged as an important tool for the genetic improvement of
valuable plants by incorporating new genes with desirable traits. These strategies are useful …

Heavy metal stress is a major growth-and yield-limiting factor for plants. Heavy metals
include essential metals (copper, iron, zinc, and manganese) and non-essential metals …

The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) gene family assists in the
transport of metal ions in plants. However, the role and underlying physiological mechanism …

NRAMP family genes participate in the absorption and transport of heavy metals such as
cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) and play an …
