Microplastics are widespread in freshwater environments, their biological effects and
combined effects of other pollutants have attracted extensive attention. In this study, we …

The presented review is a summary on the current knowledge about metal induced stress
response in plants, focusing on the roles of reactive oxygen species, auxin and nitric oxide …

Abstract Utilization of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture, as fertilizers or pesticides,
requires understanding of their impact on plant metabolism. Inhibition of root elongation by …

Transient exposure of roots to Cd, Pb, Hg or Cu for 30 min reduced root growth in a
concentration-dependent manner. While the lower concentrations of metals evoked a …

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field of science and technology that deals with the
development of new solutions by understanding and controlling matter at the nanoscale …

We previously reported that Arabidopsis shows enhanced root hair density and length in
response to cadmium (Cd). To understand how Cd stimulates root hair elongation, we …

The uptake and distribution of Pb and the mechanisms involved in the metal tolerance have
been investigated in a mine population of Biscutella auriculata. Seedlings were exposed to …

A new bis-spirocyclic rhodamine B derivative was developed as a near-infrared colorimetric
and “turn-on” fluorometric chemodosimeter (1) with a large Stokes shift (70 nm) for Cu2+. In …

Brace roots are the main organ to support the above-ground part of maize plant. It involves
in plant growth and development by water absorption and lodging resistance. The bracing …

Crystal structures of a rhodamine derivative in its closed and open spirolactam ring forms
were developed, which allows selective and sensitive detection of Cu2+ ions at a …
