Among heavy metal plants (the metallophytes), facultative species can live both in soils
contaminated by an excess of heavy metals and in non-affected sites. In contrast, obligate …

Metal ions play many critical roles in biology, as structural and catalytic cofactors, and as cell
regulatory and signalling elements. The metal–protein affinity, expressed conveniently by …

Tissue succulence (ratio of tissue water/leaf area or dry mass) or the ability to store water
within living tissues is among the most successful adaptations to drought in the plant …

Main conclusion This review describes zinc sensing and transcriptional regulation of the
zinc deficiency response in Arabidopsis, and discusses how their evolutionary conservation …

Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are a family of glutathione (GSH)-dependent thiol–disulfide
oxidoreductases. They feature GSH-binding sites that directly connect the reversible redox …

Copper transporting P-type (P1B-1-) ATPases are essential for cellular homeostasis.
Nonetheless, the E1-E1P-E2P-E2 states mechanism of P1B-1-ATPases remains poorly …

Key message Cysteine in the N-terminal metal-binding domain (N-MBD) of TaHMA2
participates in Zn 2+/Cd 2+ binding and translocation in Arabidopsis. Abstract Wheat heavy …

Abstract The P1B ATPase heavy metal ATPase 4 (HMA4) is responsible for zinc and
cadmium translocation from roots to shoots in Arabidopsis thaliana. It couples ATP …

Cadmium (Cd) is known as one of the most hazardous elements in the environment and a
persistent soil constraint toxic to all flora and fauna. In this study, we conducted …

Calamine accessions of the zinc/cadmium/nickel hyperaccumulator, Noccaea caerulescens,
exhibit striking variation in foliar cadmium accumulation in nature. The Ganges accession …
