Heavy Metals in Plants: Physiological to Molecular Approach

The book delves into the pressing issue of metal pollution and its detrimental effects on plants, with a particular emphasis on food crops. Through a physiological and molecular lens, it explores how various heavy metals interact with plant systems, affecting growth, development, and overall health. The authors present a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms plants employ to either tolerate or mitigate the toxic effects of these metals, providing insights for scientists and researchers in the field.

By integrating research findings with practical applications, the book serves as a critical resource for understanding how to address the challenges posed by heavy metal contamination. It highlights the implications of this pollution not only for plant biology but also for food safety and environmental sustainability, urging the need for innovative strategies to combat this pervasive threat.
