Abiotic stressors are major constraints that affect agricultural plant physio-morphological and
biochemical attributes, resulting in a loss of normal functioning and, eventually, a severe …

Abstract The calcium (Ca+ 2) molecules being an important intracellular messenger are
involved in various signal transduction mechanisms in plants. Many external stimuli such as …

Being sessile organisms, plants cannot escape unwanted changes in the environment. The
rapid human population explosion caused significant environmental problems. Heavy …

Heavy metal and arsenic (HM-As) contamination at the soil–food crop interface is a threat to
food security and safety and public health worldwide. The potential ecotoxicological effects …

The primary factors that restrict agricultural productivity and jeopardize human and food
safety are heavy metals (HMs), including arsenic, cadmium, lead, and aluminum, which …

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination threatens food safety and human health, particularly in
developing countries. Previously, we have proposed that boron (B) could reduce Cd uptake …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are extensively utilized in industrial, biotechnological and
medical fields because of their specific physical and chemical properties, which shown small …

Nanotechnology provides distinct benefits to numerous industrial and commercial fields, and
has developed into a discipline of intense interest to researchers. Nanoparticles (NPs) have …

Heavy metal cadmium (Cd) naturally occurs in soil and is a hazardous trace contaminant for
humans, animals, and plants. The main sources of Cd pollution in soil include overuse of …

The main forms of inorganic arsenic (As) in soil are arsenate [As (V)] and arsenite [As (III)].
Both forms inhibit plant growth. Here, we investigate the effects of As (III) toxicity on the …
