Abstract Background Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid found ubiquitously in the environment
and widely considered an acute poison and carcinogen. However, the molecular …

Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new
information since the publication of the second edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop …

Amino acids (AAs) play significant roles in metal binding, antioxidant defense, and signaling
in plants during heavy metal stress. In the present study, the essential amino acids (EAAs) …

Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitously present environmental carcinogen that enters into the human

Endosperm transfer cells (ETC) are one of four main types of cells in endosperm. A
characteristic feature of ETC is the presence of cell wall in-growths that create an enlarged …

The present study is aimed at assessing the extent of arsenic (As) toxicity under three
different light intensities—optimum (400 μmole photon m− 2 s− 1), sub-optimum (225 μmole …

Response of sulfate transporters, thiol metabolism, and antioxidant defense system was
studied in roots of two lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) genotypes grown in arsenic (10, 25, and …

Low‐molecular‐weight thiol (LMWT) synthesis has been reported to be directly induced by
arsenic (A s) in P teris vittata, an A s hyperaccumulator. Sulphur (S) is a critical component of …

 Abstract—Arsenic (As) contamination in natural environment is a problem in many
