pollution is a critical environmental concern that has posed serious threats to human health …

Cadmium (Cd) is an unessential trace element in plants that is ubiquitous in the
environment. Anthropogenic activities such as disposal of urban refuse, smelting, mining …

Plants encounter various abiotic stresses due to their sessile nature which include heavy
metals, salt, drought, nutrient deficiency, light intensity, pesticide contamination, as well as …

Cd is the third major contaminant of greatest hazard to the environment after mercury and
lead and is considered as the only metal that poses health risks to both humans and animals …

This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to
2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact …

Plants as sessile organisms are continuously exposed to abiotic stress conditions that
impose numerous detrimental effects and cause tremendous loss of yield. Abiotic stresses …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination has posed an increasing challenge to environmental quality
and food security. In recent years, phytoremediation has been particularly scrutinized …

The occurrence of heavy metals in soils may be beneficial or toxic to the environment. The
biota may require some of these elements considered essentials (like Fe, Zn, Cu or Mo) in …

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 …

Tolerance level to cadmium (Cd) toxicity is generally associated with reductions of the
internal Cd accumulation in living organisms. In plants, Cd exposure frequently triggers …
