• REVIEW: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON HALOPHYTES AND SALINE ADAPTATIONS How can we take advantage of halophyte properties to cope with heavy metal toxicity in salt-affected areas? (2015, background): “Plant MTs are divided into four types according to the location and distribution of cystein residues (Cobbett and Goldsbrough, 2002).”
• Phytochelatin synthesis and cadmium localization in wild type of Arabidopsis thaliana (2004, background): “This includes direct metal binding, promotion of the metal transfer to PC, and formation of the active metal transporting complexes into the vacuole (Cobbett and Goldsbrough 2002).”
• Accumulation of heavy metals and its biochemical responses in Salicornia brachiata, an extreme halophyte (2010, background): “…achieved by binding organic acids (Sarret et al. 2002; Wei et al. 2007), low molecular weight proteins like metallothionines (MTs) or peptides like phytochelatins (Cobbett & Goldsbrough 2002; Grill et al. 2006) and ferritins and nicotinamine (von Wirén et al. 1999) to epidermal cell walls.”
• Induction of phytochelatins and antioxidant defence system in Brassica juncea and Vigna radiata in response to chromium treatments (2010, background): “The role of PCs in regulating metal toxicity has been reported earlier for As, Cd, Cu, Ag, Hg and Pb in a wide range of plant species (Cobbett 2000; Cobbett and Goldsbrough 2002; Schmoger et al. 2000; Hall 2002; Raab et al. 2004), and are known to play a major role in the detoxification of metals…”
• The Arabidopsis NPR1 protein is a receptor for the plant defense hormone salicylic acid. (2012, background): “…coordination of copper ions by proteins such as copper chaperones, metallothioneins, and also by small molecules like nicotianamine and glutathione (Cobbett and Goldsbrough, 2002; Curie et al., 2009; Pilon et al., 2006); in cooperation with (ii) the translocation by transporters in order to…”
• Functions and Homeostasis of Zinc, Copper, and Nickel in plants (2005, background): “Definitive molecular proof for a direct involvement of metallothioneins in Zn or Cu detoxification is still scarce (Murphy and Taiz 1995; Cobbett and Goldsbrough 2002).”
• Organic matter–microorganism–plant in soil bioremediation: a synergic approach (2013, background): “Due to their affinity to heavy metals, they are involved in detoxifying and maintaining of heavy metal homeostasis in plants (Cobbett and Goldsbrough 2002).”
• Mechanisms to cope with arsenic or cadmium excess in plants. (2009, background): “PC synthesis seems to be the main factor for basal Cd and As tolerance [6,39], but not in hypertolerant plants or hyperaccumulators [40] (Figure 1).”
• Glutathione Is a Key Player in Metal-Induced Oxidative Stress Defenses (2012, background): “Several studies clearly demonstrate the induction of GSH-metal complexes after metal exposure [40,52,55,58,59].”
