Environmental contamination with arsenic (As) is a global environmental, agricultural and
health issue due to the highly toxic and carcinogenic nature of As. Exposure of plants to As …

Heavy metals (HMs) normally occur in nature and are rapidly released into ecosystems by
anthropogenic activities, leading to a series of threats to plant productivity as well as human …

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 …

The study used scattered literature to summarize the effects of excess Cd, As, and Pb from
contaminated soils on plant secondary metabolites/bioactive compounds (non-nutrient …

Abstract Arsenic (As), a naturally-occurring metalloid, is not essential for plant growth, but it
can accumulate in plants to toxic levels. As a result, it can enter the food chain and pose …

Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic and cancer-causing metals which is generally entered
the food chain via intake of As contaminated water or food and harmed the life of living …

Glutathione (GSH) plays diverse roles in the physiological processes, stress defense,
growth, and development of plants. This study investigated the effects of exogenous GSH on …

A global data analysis shows that rice grain arsenic (As) concentrations increase with
increasing soil As concentrations until about 60 mg As kg− 1 soil and then decreases. Of the …

Arsenic (As) is one of the highly toxic metalloids distributed ubiquitously in nature. Two
inorganic forms of As are present abundantly: arsenite (AsIII) and arsenate (AsV), former …

The toxic metalloid arsenic (As), is a major pollutant of soil and water, imposing severe
health concerns on human lives. It enters the food chain mainly through As-contaminated …
