Boron in Plants: Deficiency and Toxicity
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2008Abstract 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

Plant responses to metal toxicity
Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series III - Sciences de la Vie, 1999Metal 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 ...

Plants Causing Toxic Myopathies
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine PracticeBoxelder and sycamore maple contain hypoglycin A (HGA), the toxic metabolite of which, MCPA-CoA, inhibits fatty acid β-oxidation, causing seasonal pasture myopathy (SPM) or atypical myopathy (AM), respectively. White snakeroot and rayless goldenrod contain multiple benzofuran ketones (BFKs).

Poisonous plants are the third biggest recognized class of poisons worldwide. There is a lengthy history of poisonous plants. The poisonous chemicals that plants possess are what give them their toxic characteristics. Toxic compounds found in plants belong to the group of substances called secondary metabolites, which generally do not play a ...

Toxic plants: a chemist’s perspective
2010Chemistry has long been an integral part of toxicology, as the two fields originated in much the same way: the investigation of plants with interesting properties. In this chapter I review the role that chemistry has played in understanding toxic and medicinal plants. After some introductory remarks, three broad areas are addressed: the role of natural
