Engineering plants for heavy metal stress tolerance (2018, unknown): “The thylakoid membranes constitute a well-organized system containing chlorophyll and protein complexes (Kranner and Colville, 2011), which function to couple photolysis of water molecules with electron transport system, thereby make available reducing powers such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and”
Seed Priming with Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Triggers Iron Acquisition and Biofortification in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Grains (2018, background): “Upon seed priming, the seed passes through the metabolic and biochemical processes necessary for germination which during seed germination can stimulate the nutritive value of the food crop along with its productivity (Maguire 1962; Taylor et al. 1998; Kranner and Colville 2011).”
Reactive oxygen species and seed germination (2013, background): “Unregulated ROS molecules can chemically react with nucleic acids and affect the genetic code of the embryo and react with seed storage compounds such as proteins and lipids, thus compromising the germination process (Kranner & Colville 2011).”
Jasmonic acid alleviates negative impacts of cadmium stress by modifying osmolytes and antioxidants in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) (2017, background): “Heavymetals degrade the environment and inhibit the growth and development of plants (Yadav 2010; Kranner & Colville 2011).”
