Cadmium toxicity in plants

TL;DR: The role of the cell wall, the plasma membrane and the mycorrhizas as the main barriers against cadmium entrance to the cell, as well as some aspects related to phytochelatin-based sequestration and compartmentalization processes are reviewed in this paper.

Soil contamination with cadmium, consequences and remediation using organic amendments

TL;DR: This review paper focuses on the sources, generation, and use of different organic amendments to remediate Cd contaminated soil, discusses their effects on soil physical and chemical properties, Cd bioavailability, plant uptake, and human health risk, and provides an update of the most relevant findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of glutathione and its related enzymes in plants’ responses to toxic metals and metalloids—A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent studies on the modulation of total reduced GSH, GSH/GSSG redox couple, the major GSH-related enzymes and their cumulative significance in plants' adaptation and/or tolerance to TMs and metalloids in detail is presented.

Response to cadmium in higher plants

TL;DR: It is proposed that, above all in response to acute cadmium stress, various mechanisms might operate both in an additive and in a potentiating way, and a holistic and integrated approach seems to be necessary in the study of the response of higher plants to Cadmium.

Mechanisms of Cadmium Mobility and Accumulation in Indian Mustard

TL;DR: Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.), a high biomass crop plant, accumulated substantial amounts of cadmium, with bioaccumulation coefficients associated with a rapid accumulation of phytochelatins in the root, suggesting that the process of Cd transport from solution through the root and into the xylem is mediated by a saturable transport system(s).

Bioconcentration of heavy metals by plants

TL;DR: The mechanisms of metal accumulation, which involve extracellular and intracellular metal chelation, precipitation, compartmentalization and translocation in the vascular system, are poorly understood as mentioned in this paper.

Cadmium uptake and subcellular distribution in plants of Lactuca sp. Cd-Mn interaction

TL;DR: The increase in Cd concentration in the external medium caused an increase in Mn uptake and translocation to the shoots of lettuce plants, in contrast to the behavior of the other essential micronutrients, and an increaseIn Mn content in the chloroplasts, suggesting an interaction between Cd and Mn at the chloroplast level.
