Heavy metal/metalloids (HMs) are among the primary soil pollutants that limit crop
production worldwide. Plants grown in HM contaminated soils exhibit reduced growth and …

This review emphasizes the role of toxic metal remediation approaches due to their broad
sustainability and applicability. The rapid developmental processes can incorporate a large …

Plants respond to environmental pollutants such as heavy metal (s) by triggering the
expression of genes that encode proteins involved in stress response. Toxic metal ions …

Environmental pollution of heavy metals (HMs), mainly due to anthropogenic activities, has
received growing attention in recent decades. HMs, especially the non-essential …

Global mechanization, urbanization, and various natural processes have led to the
increased release of toxic compounds into the biosphere. These hazardous toxic pollutants …

Research over the last three decades showed that chromium, particularly the oxyanion
chromate Cr (VI) behaves as a toxic environmental pollutant that strongly damages plants …

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination has become a massive environmental problem. Kenaf is
an industrial fiber crop with high tolerance to heavy metals and could be potentially used for …

Plants possess a well-organized protective network, wherein antioxidant enzymes play an
important part in dealing with oxidative stress induced by over accumulation of ROS in plant …

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is a widely cultivated cereal and has been used
as an optimum heavy metal phytoremediation crop. Metallothionein (MT) proteins are small …

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is an important natural fiber crop with great potential for Cd-
polluted soil phytoremediation. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of …
