Heavy metal stress and responses in plants
Noor-Ul-Huda Ghori,T. Ghori,Muhammad Qasim Hayat,Sameen Ruqia Imadi,Alvina Gul,Volkan Altay,Munir Ozturk +6 more
TL;DR: The first line of defense provided by a plant is to reduce the uptake of metals when stimulated with toxicity of heavy metals and includes the help offered by cellular and root exudates that restricts metals from entering the cell as discussed by the authors.
