Toxic heavy metals and metalloids in agricultural ecosystems are crucial factors that limit
global crop productivity and food safety. Industrial toxic heavy metals and metalloids such as …

Bryophytes, a group of terrestrial plants widely used in biomonitoring, are reviewed for their
relation to heavy metals. In the present article, we summarized the knowledge on heavy …

The co-application of exogenous 100 µM melatonin (MT) and 100 µM salicylic acid (SA) on
21-day-old safflower seedlings grown in the presence of cadmium (Cd, 100 µM) toxicity was …

A better understanding of the mechanisms controlling cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice
will benefit the development of strategies to minimize Cd accumulation in grains. A Cd-safe …

Heavy-metal pollution represents a problem which has been widely discussed in recent
years. The biological effects of heavy metals have been studied in both animals and plants …

Mosses were proved as an ideal and reliable biomonitor as well as an indicator of
atmospheric trace metal pollution. They are used as model indicator species of air pollution …

Phytochelatins (PCs) catalyzed by phytochelatin synthases (PCS) are important for the
detoxification of metals in plants and other living organisms. In this study, we isolated a PCS …

In the present work, we investigated the response to Cd in Leptodictyum riparium, a
cosmopolitan moss (Bryophyta) that can accumulate higher amounts of metals than other …

High levels of cadmium (Cd) in soil can cause crop yield reduction or death. Cadmium
accumulation in crops affects human and animal health as it passes through the food chain …

Heavy metals bioaccumulation and bio amplification in the environment are serious
constraints for plants and all living organisms. Heavy metals have a serious impact on crop …
