Heavy metal accumulation in Halimione portulacoides: intra- and extra-cellular metal binding sites.
Salt marsh plants can sequestrate and inherently tolerate high metal concentrations found in salt marsh sediments. This work intended to understand the Halimione portulacoides (L.) Aellen strategies to prevent metal toxicity, by investigating the metal location in different plant organs and in the cell. A sequential extraction was performed on leaves, stems and roots of H. portulacoides in orde...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Accumulation in Soybeans Cultivated in Iran, 2015-2016
Background: Due to environmental contamination in recent years, contamination of food chain by heavy metals is not far-fetched. The purpose of this study is to determine heavy metals in soybeans cultivated in Iran to monitor the food chemical contaminants. Methods: To assess metal contamination, four varieties (Sahar, Katool, Williams, and M7) of soybean cultivated in Iran, were collected. Met...
متن کاملHeavy metal toxicity: Effect on plant growth, biochemical parameters and metal accumulation by Brassica juncea L.
Plant growth, pigment concentration, biochemical parameters and uptake of heavy metals were determined for Brassica juncea L. in response to cadmium and lead stress. The plant exhibited a decline in growth, chlorophyll content and carotenoids with Cd and Pb but Cd was found to be more detrimental than Pb treatment in B. juncea. The protein content was decreased by Cd (900 μM) to 95% and 44% by ...
متن کاملMetal Binding Sites in Proteins
Metal ions play a critical role in living systems. About one third of proteins need to bind metal for their stability and/or function. In this review, current sequence based and structure based methods for metal binding site prediction will be presented, with emphasis on the CHED and SeqCHED methods of prediction from apo-protein structures and protein sequences having homologs (even remote) in...
متن کاملComparing heavy metal accumulation abilities in Artemisia aucheri and Astragalus gummifer in Darreh Zereshk region, Taft
Treatment of soils contaminated with heavy metals using plant species is a method which has been widely used in thepast. This method, which is known as phytoremediation, has been applied for pollution treatment using different plantspecies worldwide. The method has been used for remediation of various types of pollutants in laboratory, pilot andindustrial scales. The aim of this study was to co...
