• Soil contamination with cadmium, consequences and remediation using organic amendments. (2017, background): “01% of their shoot dry weight without showing toxicity symptoms (Verbruggen et al., 2009).”
• Hemin-mediated alleviation of zinc, lead and chromium toxicity is associated with elevated photosynthesis, antioxidative capacity; suppressed metal uptake and oxidative stress in rice seedlings (2017, background): “So plants also have developed numerous ways to maintain cellular metal homeostasis (Clemens 2001), such as restricted metal uptake, active efflux, sequestration into vacuole and chelated by metal-binding peptide or proteins (Hall 2002; Verbruggen et al. 2009).”
• Metals and seeds: Biochemical and molecular implications and their significance for seed germination (2011, background): “Phytochelatins function in metal detoxification through chelating metal ions, and the phytochelatin–metal complexes are transported into the vacuole via ATP-dependent transporters (Cobbett and Goldsbrough, 2002; Verbruggen et al., 2009).”
• Glutathione Is a Key Player in Metal-Induced Oxidative Stress Defenses (2012, background): “Upon entering the cell, two mechanisms are present to bind metals: specific chaperones that deliver essential metals directly to their cellular site of action [49,50], and chelators that neutralize and sequester excess free metal ions [51,52].”
• Molecular Mechanism of Heavy Metal Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants: Central Role of Glutathione in Detoxification of Reactive Oxygen Species and Methylglyoxal and in Heavy Metal Chelation (2012, background): “Compared to As-sensitive plant species, stimulated GSH synthesis may play a major role in maintaining a high GSH/GSSG ratio in As-tolerant plant species [267, 268].”
• Root responses to cadmium in the rhizosphere: a review. (2011, background): “…DM are toxic to most plants (White and Brown, 2010), although some ecotypes of a few plant species have adapted to grow on soils with high Cd concentrations and can tolerate leaf concentrations in excess of 100 lg Cd g À1 DM (Reeves and Baker, 2000; Broadley et al., 2001; Verbruggen et al., 2009).”
• Toxic Heavy Metal and Metalloid Accumulation in Crop Plants and Foods. (2016, background): “The dominant ligands for toxic elements in plants are phytochelatins (PCs) (20, 81, 129).”
