Overexpression of SmZIP plays important roles in Cd accumulation and translocation, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms in transgenic tobacco under Cd stress

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Plant ZIP genes represent an important transporter family and may be involved in cadmium (Cd) accumulation and Cd resistance. In order to explore the function of SmZIP isolated from Salix matsudana, the roles of SmZIP in Cd tolerance, uptake ...

Comparative metabolomic profiling in the roots of salt-tolerant and salt-intolerant maize cultivars treated with NaCl stress

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
Maize crops are sensitive to NaCl stress, which is one of the most harmful abiotic stresses affecting agricultural productivity. To gain further insights into the differential metabolic responses to NaCl stress, we employed metabolomics and physiological

Characterisation of early responses in lead accumulation and localization of Salix babylonica L. roots

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Lead (Pb) is a harmful pollutant that disrupts normal functions from the cell to organ levels. Salix babylonica is characterized by high biomass productivity, high transpiration rates, and species specific Pb.

New insight into the effect of riluzole on cadmium tolerance and accumulation in duckweed (Lemna turionifera)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Cadmium (Cd) damages plant photosynthesis, affects roots and leaves growth, and triggers molecular responses. Riluzole (RIL), which protected neuronal damage via inhibiting excess Glu release in animals, has been found to improve Cd tolerance in duckweed

Graphene oxide affected root growth, anatomy, and nutrient uptake in alfalfa

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
The increasing application of carbon nanomaterials has resulted in their inevitable release into the environment. Their toxic effects on plant roots require careful investigation. In the present study, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was exposed to graphene
