Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of mercury, lead and arsenic with respect to genotoxic effects on plant systems and the development of genetic tolerance
TL;DR: Studies on genotoxicity of metals discussed in this review showed that genotoxic effects could be in part responsible for metal phytotoxicity, deserving further examination to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury toxicity in plants
Manomita Patra,Archana Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: The possible causal mechanisms of mercury toxicity are changes in the permeability of the cell membrane, reactions of sulphydryl (-SH) groups with cations, affinity for reacting with phosphate groups and active groups of ADP or ATP, and replacement of essential ions, mainly major cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of cobalt on plants
TL;DR: The cytotoxic and phytotoxic activities of cobalt and its compounds depend on the physico-chemical properties of these complexes, including their electronic structure, ion parameters (charge-size relations) and coordination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some aspects of aluminum toxicity in plants
TL;DR: Aluminum toxicity is a major factor in limiting growth in plants in most strongly acid soils, and root elongation is hampered through reduced mitotic activity induced by Al, with subsequent increase in susceptibility to drought.
