The aim of this review is to assess the mode of action and role of antioxidants as protection
from heavy metal stress in roots, mycorrhizal fungi and mycorrhizae. Based on their …

Cadmium is an important pollutant in the environment, toxic to most organisms and a
potential threat to human health: Crops and other plants take up Cd from the soil or water …

This chapter proposes that whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signal transducing
or damaging molecules is mainly dependent on their quality and second, on their quantity …

Cadmium is a toxic metal that produces disturbances in plant antioxidant defences giving
rise to oxidative stress. The effect of this metal on H2O2 and O2·− production was studied in …

To investigate whether Cd induces common plant defense pathways or unspecific necrosis,
the temporal sequence of physiological reactions, including hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) …

In mammals, cadmium is widely considered as a non-genotoxic carcinogen acting through a
methylation-dependent epigenetic mechanism. Here, the effects of Cd treatment on the DNA …

To investigate whether Cd induces common plant defense pathways or unspecific necrosis,
the temporal sequence of physiological reactions, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) …

The effect of selenium (Se) on rape (Brassica napus) seedlings subjected to cadmium (Cd)
stress was studied in vitro by investigating plant growth and changes in fatty acid …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a process that plays a fundamental role in plant
development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Knowledge of plant PCD …

Cadmium is suspected to exert its toxic action on cells through oxidative damage. However,
the transition metal is unable to directly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) via redox …
