Plants have been naturally gifted with mechanisms to adjust under very high or low nutrient
concentrations. Heavy metal toxicity is considered as a major growth and yield-limiting factor …

Abiotic stresses in plants are responsible for considerable yield losses globally. Scientific
efforts have been made in understanding the complex stress-response mechanisms. Abiotic …

At present, nanoparticles have been more and more used in a wide range of areas.
However, very little is known about the mechanisms of their impact on plants, as both …

Lettuce varieties Bombilasta BBL and Italian 167 were treated with different concentrations
of cadmium (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 mg/L) in a nutrient film technique (NFT) system to study its …

Arsenic is a toxic element whose widespread contamination in highly populated regions of
world has led to environmental and human health concerns. Millions of people residing in …

Abstract Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are toxic elements frequently present
simultaneously in the environment. Pteris vittata L.(Chinese brake fern) is a natural As …

Introduction: As a consequence of a sessile lifestyle, plants often have to face a number of
life threatening abiotic and biotic stresses. Plants counteract the stresses through …

Arsenic (As) gets accumulated in plants via phosphorous transporters and water channels
and interferes with nutrient and water uptake, adversely affecting growth and productivity …

Iron is an indispensable element for plant growth and defense and hence it is essential to
improve the plant's ability to accumulate iron. Besides, it is also an important aspect for …

Since the advent of photosynthetic organisms on our planet, the reducing environment of the
atmosphere has changed to an aerobic state, since then the generation of reactive oxygen …
