How plants cope with heavy metals

Katrin Viehweger · 20 Mar 2014

Heavy metals are naturally occurring in the earth's crust but anthropogenic and industrial activities have led to drastic environmental pollutions in distinct areas. Plants are able to colonize such sites due to several mechanisms of heavy metal tolerance. Understanding of these pathways enables different fruitful approaches like phytoremediation and biofortification.Therefore, this review addresses mechanisms of…

Structural and functional alterations in photosynthetic apparatus of plants under cadmium stress

Pooja Parmar, Nilima Kumari, Vinay Sharma · 8 Oct 2013

Abstract Cadmium is a potentially toxic heavy metal that hampers plant productivity by interfering with their photochemistry. Cd causes disturbances in a range of physiological processes of plants such as photosynthesis, water relations, ion metabolism and mineral uptake. Cd pronouncedly affects photosynthesis by alteration of its vital machinery in all aspects. Photosynthesis is a well…

Lead heavy metal toxicity induced changes on growth and antioxidative enzymes level in water hyacinths [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.)]

Srinivasan Malar, Sahi Shivendra Vikram, Paulo J.C. Favas et al. · 23 Jul 2014

BACKGROUND: Lead (Pb) heavy metal pollution in water bodies is one of the serious problems across the world. This study was designed to find out the effect of Pb toxicity on physiological and biochemical changes in Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) seedlings. RESULTS: The plant growth was significantly inhibited (50%) at 1000 mg/L Pb concentration. Accumulation…

Plant antimicrobial peptides: structures, functions, and applications

Junpeng Li, Shuping Hu, Wei Jian et al. · 29 Apr 2021

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short, usually positively charged polypeptides that exist in humans, animals, and plants. Considering the increasing number of drug-resistant pathogens, the antimicrobial activity of AMPs has attracted much attention. AMPs with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against many gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi are an important defensive barrier against pathogens…

Orchid conservation: how can we meet the challenges in the twenty-first century?

Michael F. Fay · 5 Jun 2018

With c. 28,000 species, orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants, and they are also one of the most threatened, in part due to their complex life history strategies. Threats include habitat destruction and climate change, but many orchids are also threatened by unsustainable (often illegal and/or undocumented) harvest for horticulture, food…
