Nickel Toxicity Interferes with NO3−/NH4+ Uptake and Nitrogen Metabolic Enzyme Activity in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The excessive use of nickel (Ni) in manufacturing and various industries has made Ni a serious pollutant in the past few decades. As a micronutrient, Ni is crucial for plant growth at low concentrations, but at higher ...
Principles and Applicability of Integrated Remediation Strategies for Heavy Metal Removal/Recovery from Contaminated Environments
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Contamination of agricultural soils with heavy metals present lethal consequences in terms of diverse ecological and environmental problems that entail entry of metal in food chain, soil deterioration, plant growth ...
Ecological impacts and potential hazards of nickel on soil microbes, plants, and human health
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Nickel (Ni) contamination poses a serious environmental concern, particularly in developing countries: where, anthropogenic activities significantly contributes to Ni accumulations in soils and waters. The contamination ...
A critical review on Pulicaria species occurring in Qatar: traditional uses, phytochemistry and biological activities
(
Springer Nature
, 2024 , Article)
In Qatar, three main species of Pulicaria (from Asteraceae) such as Pulicaria undulata (L.) C.A.Mey, Pulicaria gnaphalodes (Vent.) Boiss. and Pulicaria sicula (L.) Moris are reported. Traditionally, these species have ...
The Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Health Risks of Metal(oid)s Bioaccumulation in Leafy Vegetables: A Consumption Advisory
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
High levels of metal(oid)s in soil or food pose a severe health risk to humans. The potential toxicants find their way into the living systems via the food chain, following bioaccumulation in edible plants, including leafy ...
Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Biosynthesis: Overview
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Zinc (Zn) is plant micronutrient, which is involved in many physiological functions, and an inadequate supply will reduce crop yields. Its deficiency is the widest spread micronutrient deficiency problem; almost all crops ...
Response of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) to nitric oxide application under cadmium stress
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Soil contamination with cadmium (Cd) is a persistent threat to crop production worldwide. The present study examined the putative roles of nitric oxide (NO) in improving Cd-tolerance in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.). ...
Understanding the Phytoremediation Mechanisms of Potentially Toxic Elements: A Proteomic Overview of Recent Advances
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article Review)
Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As), polluting the environment, pose a significant risk and cause a wide array of adverse changes in plant physiology. Above ...
An overview of heavy metals toxicity in plants, tolerance mechanism, and alleviation through lysine-chelation with micro-nutrients—A novel approach
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article Review)
Abstract: Plants must adapt themselves to the prevailing conditions for their survival, resulting in the acquisition of a wide range of metal tolerance mechanisms. Although many metal elements are essential for the growth ...
