Copper is an essential metal for plants. It plays key roles in photosynthetic and respiratory
electron transport chains, in ethylene sensing, cell wall metabolism, oxidative stress …

Copper (Cu) is a micronutrient that has roles in photosynthesis, respiration, antioxidant
activity, cell wall metabolism and hormone perception. Excess Cu is toxic and therefore its …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to tightly control the acquisition and
distribution of copper and iron in response to environmental fluctuations. Recent studies with …

Heavy metals like Mn and Cu, though essential for normal plant growth and development,
can be toxic when present in excess in the environment. For normal plant growth …

Iron, copper and zinc are essential metals for cell metabolism. Plants have evolved different
schemes to efficiently mobilize low-solubility nutrients such as metals from their environment …

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for humans, animals, and plants, and it
participates in various morphological, physiological, and biochemical processes. Cu is a …

To cope with the dual nature of copper as being essential and toxic for cells, plants
temporarily adapt the expression of copper homeostasis components to assure its delivery …

Plants directly assimilate minerals from the environment and thus are key for acquisition of
metals by all subsequent consumers. Limited bio-availability of copper, zinc and iron in soil …

Heavy metal pollution is one of the most troublesome environmental problems faced by
mankind nowadays. Copper, in particular, poses serious problems due to its widespread …
