Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal and has spread widely in the environment in
recent decades. This review summarizes current knowledge about Cd contamination of leafy …

The authors review presently available or potential biological methods to remove and
detoxify toxic heavy metals and metalloids from polluted water and sediments (ie …

Lead phytoextraction from salty soils is a difficult task because this process needs the use of
plants which are able to tolerate salt and accumulate Pb2+ within in their shoots. It has …

Soil salinity usually increases bioavailability of Cd on heavy metal polluted soils but its
impact on Cd absorption and accumulation by plants remains largely unknown. Plants from …

Abstract Effects of CeO 2 NPs (200 mg. L− 1) on rice (Oryza sativa L.) alone or co-exposure
with cadmium (Cd) and salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) were investigated in hydroponic …

One of the limits of Cd2+-phytoextraction is the high toxicity of this metal to plants. Growth
restriction, chlorosis and necrosis are usually accompanied with a large disturbance of the …

Saline soils often constitute sites of accumulation of industrial and urban wastes
contaminated by heavy metals. Halophytes, ie native salt-tolerant species, could be more …

Sesuvium portulacastrum is a halophyte with considerable Cd tolerance and accumulation,
especially under high salinity. The species seems a good candidate for phytoremediation of …

The effects of Cd 2+ and NaCl, applied together or separately, on growth and uptake of Cd
2+ were determined for the halophyte Sesuvium portulacastrum L. Seedlings were cultivated …

Salt marshes constitute major sinks for heavy metal accumulation but the precise impact of
salinity on heavy metal toxicity for halophyte plant species remains largely unknown. Young …
