Microbial and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Environments: A Review (2017, background): “For example, the processes of respiration, photosynthesis, electron transport chain and cell division are negatively affected by elevated levels of heavy metals as documented by laboratory experiments [49,50].”
Influence of EDTA and citric acid on lead-induced oxidative stress to Vicia faba roots (2014, background): “Lead is ranked second after arsenic among all the hazardous heavy metals (Pourrut et al. 2011a).”
Arsenic Uptake, Toxicity, Detoxification, and Speciation in Plants: Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Aspects (2018, background): “The increased production of ROS is very dangerous for physiological, biochemical, and metabolic processes taking place inside the plants [46,127,204].”
Exogenous glutathione attenuates lead-induced oxidative stress in wheat by improving antioxidant defense and physiological mechanisms (2018, background): “It can replace the cations from binding sites of enzymes and thus inactivate the enzymes of the antioxidant system (Mishra et al. 2006; Pourrut et al. 2011).”
