Salinized land is slowly spreading across the world. Reduced crop yields and quality due to
salt stress threaten the ability to feed a growing population. We discussed the mechanisms …

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) are gasotransmitters, which are involved in
almost all plant physiological and stress-related processes. With its antioxidant regulatory …

The interplay between melatonin (Mel) and calcium (Ca 2+) in enhancing tolerance to
metalloid toxicity and underlying physiological and biochemical mechanisms of this …

Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic contaminant in the environment. Although both inorganic and
organic types of arsenic exist in the environment, the most common inorganic forms of As …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic compounds released into our environment and is
harmful to human health, urging the need to remediate Cd-polluted soils. To this end, it is …

Salinity is an issue impairing crop production across the globe. Under salinity stress,
besides the osmotic stress and Na+ toxicity, ROS (reactive oxygen species) …

The non-essential metalloid arsenic (As) is widely distributed in soil and underground water
of many countries. Arsenic contamination is a concern because it creates threat to food …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has emerged as a potential gasotransmitter in plants with a
beneficial role in stress amelioration. Despite the various known functions of H 2 S in plants …

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid that adversely affects plant growth, and poses severe risks to
human health. It induces disturbance to many physiological and metabolic pathways such …

In the age of nanotechnological advancement, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are drawing global
attention. However, few studies have been published on the crop growth responses to CNTs …
