Plants are sessile organisms therefore, cannot avoid adverse environmental conditions
(such as soil salinity, drought, heat, cold, flooding and heavy metal contamination). These …

Rapid growth in urbanization and industrialization has increased the levels of heavy metals
in the environment and consequently in the food chain. Consumption of contaminated food …

This study aims to establish whether zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) share similar physiological
mechanisms for uptake and translocation in cacao plants (Theobroma cacao L.). Multiple …

A screening strategy using micropropagation glass tubes with a gradient of distances
between germinating seeds and a metal-contaminated medium was used for studying …

Phytoremediation is considered as a promising soil remediation technique. In the present
study, the growth responses, cadmium (Cd) accumulation and uptake capability of six …

The synergistic relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant species may
play a key role in phytoremediation of arsenic (As)-contaminated soils. By using modified …

Hyperaccumulators are important in the phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated
soil. In this study, Cd accumulation and the interactions between Cd and four other trace …

Abstract Effects of zinc (12–180 μM) alone and in mixtures with 12 μM Cd on metal
accumulation, dry masses of roots and shoots, root respiration rate, variable to maximum …

Cadmium (Cd) is a hazardous heavy metal whose concentrations have been increasing in
Brazilian soils, largely due to mining activities. Eucalyptus species are widely planted in …

Food security is critical for survival but increasing heavy metal particularly cadmium
concentration in the environment due to human activity poses a threat to both plants and …
