Plants, due to their sessile nature, face several environmental adversities. Abiotic stresses
such as heat, cold, drought, heavy metals, and salinity are serious threats to plant production …

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 …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and humans. Cadmium (Cd) is a Zn analog
