Salinity affects plant growth and metabolites in plants, which in turn affect Cd accumulation. Cheng et al. ran a hydroponic experiment to assess the effect of NaCl on the metabolic response to Cd and Cd accumulation in...

Redox changes, dormancy breaking and ageing of seeds
Loss of seed viability has been associated with deteriorative processes that are partly caused by oxidative damage. The breaking of dormancy, a seed trait that prevents germination in unfavourable seasons, has also been...

Glutathione, ascorbate and cadmium sensitivity in arabidopsis
Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential trace element that elicits oxidative stress. Plants respond to Cd toxicity via increasing their Cd-chelating and antioxidative capacities. They predominantly chelate Cd via glutathione...
Over-expression of Trxo1 and cell viability under H2O2 stress
Ortiz-Espín et al. treat over-expressing PsTrxo1 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cells with H2O2 and find a significant delay in cell death compared to controls, which may in part be due to a decreased content of...
Selenium toxicity in plants (Botanical Briefing)
Van Hoewyk provides a framework on plant selenium toxicity, showing that both malformed selenoproteins and oxidative stress drive selenium-induced stress.
