The increasing interest in urban agriculture highlights the crucial question of crop quality.
The main objectives for environmental sustainability are a decrease in chemical inputs, a …

The systematic study of genotoxicity in plants induced by contaminants and other stress
agents has been hindered to date by the lack of reliable and robust biomarkers. The comet …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered as a potential biotechnological tool for
improving phytostabilization efficiency and plant tolerance to heavy metal-contaminated …

Chromium (Cr) stress is one of the most adverse environmental factors that affect plant
growth and food chain contamination. Fulvic acid (FA) is known to enhance the growth and …

In some areas, anthropogenic activity has led to a high level of environmental pollution with
heavy metals that it is now detrimental to living organisms. However, there are about 500 …

By virtue of the affinity of pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) for lead (II) ion (Pb2+) and the
inherent structural merits of electrospun nanofibrous membranes, a novel solid-phase …

Chemical speciation of metals in soil/solution plays an important role in determining their
biogeochemical behavior in soil-plant system. The current study evaluated the influence of …

Using fast-growing trees to remediate soils polluted by heavy metals (HMs) has received
increasingly more attention, especially for recalcitrant Pb, as one of the most seriously toxic …

The toxicity of four potentially toxic trace elements (Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) to Annual Atriplex (A.
hortensis and A. rosea) was examined to determine if this plant showed sufficient tolerance …

Lead (Pb) environmental contamination remains prevalent. Pisum sativum L. plants have
been used in ecotoxicological studies, but some cultivars showed to tolerate and …
