Common Plants and Their Toxicity
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1987This article contains information about plants that have a potential for producing acute toxicity. The two largest sections are in tabular format, that is, a list of plants reported to have a potential for producing acute toxicity and a table of plants that have been used as food suggesting that they have little toxic potential. For each plant cited in

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

Nanomaterial toxicity for plants
Environmental Chemistry Letters, 2017Nanomaterials occur widely in ecosystems as the result of both natural processes and human activities. Reports suggest that altered growth patterns in plants result from interactions of nanomaterials and plants. Plant physiological barriers provide some resistance against nanomaterial toxicity.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses literature on poisonous plants that impact reproduction and embryo–fetal development in livestock species. Reproductive success is dependent on a large number of carefully orchestrated biological events that must occur in a specifically timed sequence.

Toxicity of Nanomaterials to Plants [PDF]
, 2015 Nanoparticles have many potential applications, especially in biomedical engineering and agriculture, but the toxicity of nanoparticles to plants has received little attention. Previously, we described an increase in the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rice (Oryza sativa) and Arabidopsis thaliana cells after nanoparticle treatments. We found

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 1977
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the level of Ba in plants necessary to cause yield depressions. Barium levels of about 2% in bush bean leaves and 1% in barley leaves decreased yields considerably. The levels were obtained after application of 2000 μg Ba per g of soil as Ba(NO3)2 with equivalent nitrate added in controls.

Detection of Cadmium Toxicity in Plant
2021Cadmium (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

Zinc toxicity in plants: a review
Planta, 2021This review highlights the most recent updated information available about Zn phytotoxicity at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels, uptake mechanisms as well as excess Zn homeostasis in plants. Zinc (Zn) is a natural component of soil in terrestrial environments and is a vital element for plant growth, as it performs imperative functions in

Toxic Plants and Phytochemicals
2018Poisonous plants produce toxic compounds which are capable of eliciting undesirable aftermath effects even death when in contact with living organisms such as plants, animal, and microorganism. These compounds include anticholinergic, severe gastrointestinal (GI) irritants, cardiac glycosides, central nervous system stimulants/hallucinogens, and ...
