Cadmium Toxicity in Plants

2012
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 and may enrich it in their roots and shoots. In this review, we summarize natural and anthropogenic reasons for the occurrence of Cd toxicity, and evaluate the observed phytotoxic

The alleviation of ammonium toxicity in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2023
AbstractNitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plants and profoundly affects crop yields and qualities. Ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3−) are major inorganic N forms absorbed by plants from the surrounding environments. Intriguingly, NH4+ is usually toxic to plants when it serves as the sole or dominant N source.

Plant–herbivore interactions mediated by plant toxicity

Theoretical Population Biology, 2008
We explore the impact of plant toxicity on the dynamics of a plant-herbivore interaction, such as that of a mammalian browser and its plant forage species, by studying a mathematical model that includes a toxin-determined functional response. In this functional response, the traditional Holling Type 2 response is modified to include the negative effect

Toxicity and uptake of nitroguanidine in plants

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1990
During the manufacture of the munition nitroguanidine (NQ), wastewater is contaminated by NQ and related by-products. Land application of the NQ-contaminated wastewater was initiated after discussions with the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Detection of Cadmium Toxicity in Plant

2021
Cadmium (Cd) is widespread in the soil, water, and atmosphere, so Cd toxicity to human can happen by breathing in air, drinking water, and eating food from plant grown in Cd-contaminated soil. Cd pollution draws a lot of attention from the scientific community and also regulatory agents and is researched widely by using both plant and animal system. In

Plant responses to metal toxicity

Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series III - Sciences de la Vie, 1999
Metal toxicity for living organisms involves oxidative and/or genotoxic mechanisms. Plant protection against metal toxicity occurs, at least in part, through control of root metal uptake and of long distance metal transport. Inside cells, proteins such as ferritins and metallothioneins, and glutathion-derived peptides named phytochelatins, participate ...

Boron in Plants: Deficiency and Toxicity

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2008
Abstract Boron (B) is an essential nutrient for normal growth of higher plants, and B availability in soil and irrigation water is an important determinant of agricultural production. To date, a primordial function of B is undoubtedly its structural role in the cell wall; however, there is increasing evidence for a possible role of B in other processes

Southeastern Plants Toxic to Ruminants

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2011
Selected toxic plants affecting cattle, sheep, and goats in the southeastern United States are presented. The author's intention is to provide veterinary practitioners and students with an overview of plant poisoning in the region. Plants are grouped by body system affected, based on clinical signs and/or lesions.
