Cadmium stress: an oxidative challenge
Ann Cuypers,Michelle Plusquin,Tony Remans,Marijke Jozefczak,Els Keunen,Heidi Gielen,Kelly Opdenakker,Ambily Ravindran Nair,Elke Munters,Tom Artois,Tim S. Nawrot,Jaco Vangronsveld,Kelly Smeets +12 more
TL;DR: The current review gives an overview on Cd-induced ROS production and anti-oxidative defense in organisms under different Cd regimes and the C d-induced oxidative challenge is discussed with a focus on damage and signaling as downstream responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutathione is a key player in metal-induced oxidative stress defenses.
TL;DR: The role of GSH in: (1) metal homeostasis; (2) antioxidative defense; and (3) signal transduction under metal stress is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant sugars are crucial players in the oxidative challenge during abiotic stress: extending the traditional concept.
TL;DR: This review aims at extending the current concept of antioxidants functioning during abiotic stress, with special focus on the emanate role of sugars as true ROS scavengers, as different organelles seem to exploit distinct mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial seed endophytes: genera, vertical transmission and interaction with plants
TL;DR: The role of seed-associated microorganisms, and especially seed endophytic bacteria, still is underestimated, but these associations could be beneficial for germination and seedling establishment as seed endophical bacteria are already present in these very early plant growth stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium exposure in the population: from health risks to strategies of prevention
Tim S. Nawrot,Jan A. Staessen,Jan A. Staessen,Harry Roels,Elke Munters,Ann Cuypers,Tom Richart,Tom Richart,Ann Ruttens,Karen Smeets,Herman Clijsters,Jaco Vangronsveld +11 more
TL;DR: In view of the insidious etiology of health effects associated with low dose exposure to Cd and the current European Cd intake which is close to the tolerable weekly intake, one should not underestimate the importance of the recent epidemiological evidence on Cd toxicity as to its medical and public health implications.
