Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Unfortunately, deficiency of Zn
in humans has increased on a global scale. The main reason of this micronutrient deficiency …

Increasing heavy metal (HM) concentrations in the soil have become a significant problem in
the modern industrialized world due to several anthropogenic activities. Heavy metals (HMs) …

Although manganese is an essential trace metal, little is known about its transport and
homeostatic regulation. Here we have identified a cohort of patients with a novel autosomal …

Reports indicate that silver nanoparticles (nAg) are toxic to vegetation, but little is known
about their effects in crop plants. This study examines the impacts of nAg on the physiology …

Plants are under the continual threat of changing climatic conditions that are associated with
various types of abiotic stresses. In particular, heavy metal contamination is a major …

A growing body of evidence suggests that plant root-associated fungi such as dark septate
endophytes (DSE) can help plants overcome many biotic and abiotic stresses, of great …

To reduce cadmium (Cd) pollution of food chains, screening and breeding of low-Cd-
accumulating cultivars are the focus of much study. Two previously identified genotypes, a …

Transition metals such as iron, copper, zinc, or molybdenum are essential nutrients for
plants. These elements are involved in almost every biological process, including …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd 2+) can affect plant growth due to its mobility and toxicity. We
evaluated the effects of Cd 2+ on the production of phenolic compounds and antioxidant …

The SNP-based high-resolution QTL mapping mapped eight major genomic regions
harbouring robust QTLs governing seed-Fe and Zn concentrations (39.4% combined …
