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 …

Abstract Glutathione (γ-glu-cys-gly; GSH) is usually present at high concentrations in most
living cells, being the major reservoir of non-protein reduced sulfur. Because of its unique …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal nutrient for plants. Recently, some of the genes
responsible for transition metal transport in plants have been identified; however, only …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for the normal growth of plants but information is scarce on
the mechanisms whereby Zn is transported in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants. Four distinct …

Ni homeostasis is essential for plant cell activity, but the mechanisms of Ni-transport and
delivery are unknown. To elucidate the role of ZIP and NRAMP metal-transporters for Ni2+ …

Euglena gracilis lacks a plant-like vacuole and, when grown in Cd2+-containing medium,
60% of the accumulated Cd2+ is located inside the chloroplast. Hence, the biochemical …
