Concentrations of heavy metals in soil seldom reach a level sufficient to cause osmotic
disturbances in plants. It is likely that water entry to the roots is indirectly governed by other …

High metal availability, arising from mining and industrial activities, disposal of sewage
sludge or soil acidification, is an increasing problem in agriculture and forestry. Metal toxicity …

Using the examples of cadmium and lead, the review considers the various toxic effects
exerted by these heavy metals. Putative specific and nonspecific mechanisms of the toxic …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,

In this study, the interaction between temperature and heavy metal stress was investigated
in two wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Gerek-79 and Bolal-2973). Effects of different …

Interactive effects of two heavy metal pollutants Cd and Pb in the growth medium were
examined on their uptake, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), induction of …

The effect of excess concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn)
on water relations in young sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants was studied in water …
