Journal ArticleDOI
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
Phytoextraction of toxic metals: a central role for glutathione
C.S. Seth,Tony Remans,Els Keunen,Marijke Jozefczak,Heidi Gielen,Kelly Opdenakker,Nele Weyens,Jaco Vangronsveld,Ann Cuypers +8 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the current understanding on metal uptake, translocation and detoxification in planta, and their impact on plant growth and health, and special attention is paid to the central role of glutathione (GSH) in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen Peroxide, Signaling in Disguise during Metal Phytotoxicity
Ann Cuypers,Sophie Hendrix,Rafaela Amaral dos Reis,Stefanie De Smet,Jana Deckers,Heidi Gielen,Marijke Jozefczak,Christophe Loix,Hanne Vercampt,Jaco Vangronsveld,Els Keunen +10 more
TL;DR: Current knowledge on the dual role of ROS in metal-exposed plants is presented, and evidence for a relationship between H2O2 and plant metal tolerance is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs in Metal Stress: Specific Roles or Secondary Responses?
TL;DR: The current knowledge on the regulatory roles of miRNAs in plant metal stress responses is highlighted, and whether stress-regulated mi RNAs have specific roles or are secondary consequences is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the development of roots exposed to contaminants and the potential of plant-associated bacteria for optimization of growth.
Tony Remans,Sofie Thijs,Sascha Truyens,Nele Weyens,Kerim Schellingen,Els Keunen,Heidi Gielen,Ann Cuypers,Jaco Vangronsveld +8 more
TL;DR: Knowledge concerning the specific influence of different contaminants on root system architecture and the molecular mechanisms by which this is achieved can be combined with the exploitation of plant-associated bacteria to influence root development and increase plant stress tolerance, which should lead to more optimal root systems for application in phytoremediation or safer biomass production.
