Cadmium is a non-essential trace metal, which is highly toxic to nearly all living organisms.
Soil pollution causes Cd contamination of crops, thereby rendering plant products …

This article reviews the responses of plant roots to elevated rhizosphere cadmium (Cd)
concentrations. Cadmium enters plants from the soil solution. It traverses the root through …

Plants absorb a number of elements from soil, some of which have no known biological
function and some are known to be toxic at low concentrations. As plants constitute the …

Maize (Zea mays L.) has been widely adopted for phytomanagement of cadmium (Cd)-
contaminated soils due to its high biomass production and Cd accumulation capacity. This …

Various industrial activities lead to environmental pollution by heavy metals. Toxic heavy
metals enter the food chain of dairy cows through feed and water, then transferred into milk …

New insights were provided on the function of root cell wall pectin concentration and
methylation degree in copper tolerance studying contrasting ecotypes of Silene paradoxa. A …

The present study presents new insights into pH dynamics in the rhizosphere of alpine
pennycress (Noccaea caerulescens (J. Presl & C. Presl) FK Mey), maize (Zea mays L.) and …

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of 7 intercrops on Cd uptake by maize.
The intercrops included cowpea (V. unguiculata (L.) Walp.), purple haricot (L. purpureus (L.) …

In this study, the ability of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (OFMSW) to
enhance heavy metal uptake of maize shoots compared with ethylenediamine disuccinic …

The aim of this study was to characterize qualitatively and quantitatively the composition of
the main rhizodeposits emitted from maize (Zea mays) under Cd stress, in order to discuss …
