Occurrence, bioavailability and toxic effects of trace metals and organic contaminants in mangrove ecosystems: a review.
TL;DR: The present paper reviews the current knowledge on the occurrence, bioavailability and toxic effects of trace contaminants in mangrove ecosystems and highlights the major data and methodological gaps which should be addressed to refine the risk assessment of trace pollutants in manGrove ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
How can we take advantage of halophyte properties to cope with heavy metal toxicity in salt-affected areas?
TL;DR: Halophytic plant species are able to cope with several abiotic constraints occurring simultaneously in their natural environment and some halophytes promising candidates for further management of heavy-metal-polluted areas in both saline and non-saline environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and distribution of plant metallothioneins: a review of structure, properties and functions
TL;DR: How in vivo and in vitro studies have advanced the understanding of the structure-property-function relationship for the plant metallothionein family is discussed and the progress that has been made for the Type 4 plant met allothioneins is highlighted.
REVIEW: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON HALOPHYTES AND SALINE ADAPTATIONS How can we take advantage of halophyte properties to cope with heavy metal toxicity in salt-affected areas?
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of salt on heavy metal bioavailabilty in two types of ecosystem: salt marshes and mangroves, and mine tailings in semi-arid areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural features specific to plant metallothioneins
TL;DR: The focus is set on any structural features known, deduced, or assumed for the plant MT proteins including the determination of secondary structural elements by circular dichroism, IR, and Raman spectroscopy, and the evaluation of the spatial arrangement of the sequence separated cysteine-rich regions with the aid of limited proteolytic digestion.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method
TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.
