Heavy metals in food crops: Health risks, fate, mechanisms, and management

TL;DR: This review focuses on and describes heavy metal contamination in soil-food crop subsystems with respect to human health risks, and explores the possible geographical pathways of heavy metals in such subsystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochar application for the remediation of heavy metal polluted land: A review of in situ field trials

TL;DR: It was found that the use of biochar may help increase crop yields on polluted land, and thus reduce the amount of mineral fertilizer used in the field, and in order to maximize the benefits ofBiochar addition, farmers need to accept that the dosage rates of mineral fertilizers should be reduced.

Cadmium in plants: uptake, toxicity, and its interactions with selenium fertilizers

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of Se on plants under Cd stress, and how it can minimize or mitigate Cd toxicity in plants is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zinc oxide nanoparticles alter the wheat physiological response and reduce the cadmium uptake by plants.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that ZnO NPs (levels used in the study) could effectively reduce the toxicity and concentration of Cd in wheat whereas increase the Zn concentration in wheat.

Unravelling cadmium toxicity and tolerance in plants: Insight into regulatory mechanisms

TL;DR: This article reviews current knowledge of uptake, transport and accumulation of Cd in plants and gives an overview of C d-detoxification mechanisms, Cd-induced oxidative damage and antioxidant defenses in plants, and presents a picture of the role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in Cd toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of silicon-mediated alleviation of heavy metal toxicity in plants: A review

TL;DR: The mechanisms through which Si can alleviate heavy metal toxicity in plants are reviewed and the key mechanisms evoked include reducing active heavy metal ions in growth media, reduced metal uptake and root-to-shoot translocation, chelation and stimulation of antioxidant systems in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The uptake and bioaccumulation of heavy metals by food plants, their effects on plants nutrients, and associated health risk: a review.

TL;DR: Consumption of vegetables grown on metal-contaminated soil were nutrient deficient and consumption of such vegetables may lead to nutritional deficiency in the population particularly living in developing countries which are already facing the malnutrition problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of excess copper on growth and physiology of important food crops: a review

TL;DR: It is recommended that Cu-tolerant crops should be grown on Cu-contaminated soils in order to ameliorate the toxic effects for sustainable farming systems and to meet the food demands of the intensively increasing population.
