Environmental problems such as the deterioration of groundwater quality, soil degradation
and various threats to human, animal and ecosystem health are closely related to the …

Abiotic stresses are various environmental factors that inhibit a normal plant growth and limit
the crop productivity. Plant scientists have been attempting for a long time to understand …

Calcium (Ca) plays important role in plant development and response to various
environmental stresses. However, its involvement in mitigation of heavy metal stress in …

Abstract Main conclusion Aqueous Si limits Cu uptake by a Si-accumulating plant via
physicochemical mechanisms occurring at the root level. Sufficient Si supply may alleviate …

Due to increasing global climate change problems to biota, salinity has been recognized as
a realistic hazard critically affects the sustain agri-food production and crop quality in many …

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation has been widely used in the biomineralization of
heavy metals Cd 2+. However, the low Cd-tolerance of ureolytic bacteria limits the …

Arabidopsis halleri is a model species for the study of plant adaptation to extreme metallic
conditions. In this species, cadmium (Cd) tolerance seems to be constitutive, and the …

Wheat is one of several cereals that is capable of accumulating higher amounts of Cd in
plant tissues. It is important to understand the Cd 2+ transport processes in roots that result …

Possible involvement of calcium (Ca) and zinc (Zn) in mitigation of salt (NaCl) stress-
induced oxidative damage in Brassica juncea was investigated. Salt stress (200 mM NaCl) …

When content of HMs, such as Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb or Zn, in soils is high, then they are taken up in
excess and affect different physiological processes in plants. HMs affect growth of roots and …
