Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal toxic to humans and the accumulation of Cd in the rice grain
is a major agricultural problem, particularly in Asia. The role of the iron transporter …

A better understanding of the role of the Arabidopsis ZIP family of micronutrient transporters
is necessary in order to advance our understanding of plant Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu …

Over the past 200 years emissions of toxic heavy metals have risen tremendously and
significantly exceed those from natural sources for practically all metals. Uptake and …

Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains poses a potential health
problem, especially in Asia. Most Cd in rice grains accumulates through phloem transport …

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 …

The use of the essential element zinc (Zn) in the biochemistry of land plants is widespread,
and thus comparable to that in other eukaryotes. Plants have evolved the ability to adjust to …

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 …

The removal of inorganic contaminants by plants is termed phytoextraction. Recent studies
have looked at the feasibility of phytoextraction, and demonstrate that both good biomass …

Main conclusion This review provides new insight that calcium plays important roles in plant
growth, heavy metal accumulation and translocation, photosynthesis, oxidative damage and …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …
