Most of the heavy metals (HMs), and metals/metalloids are released into the nature either by
natural phenomenon or anthropogenic activities. Being sessile organisms, plants are …

Photosynthetic organisms convert light energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.
To perform this process, an adequate supply of essential mineral elements, such as iron, is …

Heavy metals (HMs) exists in the environment in both forms as essential and non-essential.
These HM ions enter in soil biota from various sources like natural and anthropogenic …

Plant roots forage the soil for iron, the concentration of which can be dramatically lower than
those needed for growth. Soil iron uptake uses the broad metal spectrum IRT1 transporter …

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 …

Iron is essential for the survival and proliferation of all plants. Higher plants have developed
two distinct strategies to acquire iron, which is only slightly soluble, from the rhizosphere: the …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the
available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for …

When plants are subjected to high metal exposure, different plant species take different
strategies in response to metal-induced stress. Largely, plants can be distinguished in four …

Heavy metals are naturally occurring in the earth's crust but anthropogenic and industrial
activities have led to drastic environmental pollutions in distinct areas. Plants are able to …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …
