Cadmium (Cd) is a primary contaminant in agricultural soils of the world. The ability of Cd
uptake, transport, detoxification, and accumulation varies among different plant species and …

Phytochelatins (PCs) are small cysteine-rich peptides capable of binding metal (loid) s via
SH-groups. Although the biosynthesis of PCs can be induced in vivo by various metal (loid) …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops, feeding half of the world's
population. However, rice production is affected by cadmium (Cd) toxicity. Due to an …

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is an important natural fiber crop with great potential for Cd-
polluted soil phytoremediation. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of …

Heavy metal (HM) stress is a major hazard, which significantly affects plant growth and
development. In order to confront HM stress, plants directly or indirectly regulate the levels of …

Bryophytes are a large group of plants commonly used as bioindicators of metal and
metalloid pollution. However, very little is known about the bryophyte genes responsible for …

Cadmium is toxic to plants, easily reaching unsafe levels for animal and human
consumption. A greenhouse experiment investigated the effect of foliar-applied Cd on the …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) exist simultaneously in soil environment, which
poses a serious threat to the safety of agricultural products and forage production. Four …

Atmospheric deposition of Cd, from anthropogenic activities, can be directly deposited onto
and absorbed into wheat plants, yet, how foliar absorbed Cd is translocated in wheat plants …

Heavy metal (HM)-induced stress can lead to the enrichment of HMs in plants thereby
threatening people's lives and health via the food chain. For this reason, there is an urgent …
