Plants respond to environmental pollutants such as heavy metal (s) by triggering the
expression of genes that encode proteins involved in stress response. Toxic metal ions …

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 …

Environmental contamination by hazardous environmental pollutants is a widespread and
increasingly serious problem confronting society, scientists, and regulators worldwide …

Natural and human activities introduced an excess level of toxic lead (Pb) to the
environment. Pb has no known biological significance and its interactions with plants lead to …

Heavy metal contamination of soil, aqueous waste stream and ground water causes major
environmental and human health problems. Heavy metals are major environmental …

Influence of 75μM copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) on growth, tissue metal
accumulation, non-protein thiols (NPT) and glutathione (GSH) contents, membrane damage …

Nickel (Ni) is an essential element for plant growth and is a constituent of several
metalloenzymes, such as urease, Ni-Fe hydrogenase, Ni-superoxide dismutase. However …

Bananas are the world's important fruit and staple crop in the developing countries.
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soils results in the decrease of crop yield and food safety …

Abiotic stress is greatly associated with plant growth inhibition and redox cell imbalance. In
the present work, we have investigated in which way oxidative posttranslational …

Background The herbicides glyphosate (Gly) and imazamox (Imx) inhibit the biosynthesis of
aromatic and branched-chain amino acids, respectively. Although these herbicides inhibit …
