anthropogenic sources, and inhibits plant growth and development. Cadmium toxicity may …

Intake of toxic cadmium (Cd) from rice caused Itai-itai disease in the past and it is still a
threat for human health. Therefore, control of the accumulation of Cd from soil is an …

Manganese is an essential element for plants, intervening in several metabolic processes,
mainly in photosynthesis and as an enzyme antioxidant-cofactor. Nevertheless, an excess of …

Plants that deploy a phosphorus (P)-mobilising strategy based on the release of
carboxylates tend to have high leaf manganese concentrations ([Mn]). This occurs because …

Over the past 200 years emissions of toxic heavy metals have risen tremendously and

Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe …

Plants are the principal source of iron in most diets, yet iron availability often limits plant
growth. In response to iron deficiency, Arabidopsis roots induce the expression of the …

Mechanism of four methods for removing hazardous heavy metal are detailed and
compared-chemical/physical remediation, animal remediation, phytoremediation and …

Heavy metals are important environmental pollutants and their toxicity is a problem of
increasing significance for ecological, evolutionary, nutritional, and environmental reasons …

Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …
