The review considers the roles of root and shoot tissues in transport and accumulation of
heavy metals in plants of two contrast groups, ie, excluders and hyperaccumulators. The …

In experiments with rapeseed (Brassica napus L., cv. Westar) plants, it was confirmed that
copper was considerably more toxic than zinc. The toxic effects of 50 and 150 μM CuSO 4 …

Two-day-old seedlings of maize (Zea mays L.) were incubated on Cd and Pb nitrate
solutions at the concentrations that inhibited root growth approximately by 50% after two-day …

The focus of the review is on the specific aspects of nickel effect on plants as compared to
other heavy metals; their specificity is derived from different physical and chemical …

Abstract The effects of Pb, Sr, and Ni nitrates on the root growth, its cell division and
elongation were studied. Two-day-old maize seedlings were incubated on the 35 μM Ni (NO …

The effects of plants on substrate metals, especially Fe, distribution of Fe with time in nutrient
sol., roots and exudates of plants, selective uptake and mechanism of extraction from …

Copper, zinc, manganese, iron, nickel and molybdenum are essential micronutrients for
plants. However, when present in excess they may damage the plant or decrease the quality …

Using the examples of cadmium and lead, the review considers the various toxic effects
exerted by these heavy metals. Putative specific and nonspecific mechanisms of the toxic …

Heavy metals are natural elements that are found at various high background levels (Table
1.1) at different places throughout the world, due to various concentrations in the bedrock …

The common ice plants (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) at the stage of five leaf pairs
were exposed to cadmium chloride solutions (1, 0.1, and 0.01 mM) under the conditions of …
