Role of mineral nutrition in minimizing cadmium accumulation by plants.
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal for both plants and animals. The presence of Cd in agricultural soils is of great concern regarding its entry into the food chain. Cadmium enters into the soil-plant environment mainly through anthropogenic activities. Compounds of Cd are more soluble than other heavy metals, so it is more available and readily taken up by plants and accumulates in dif...
متن کاملMechanisms to cope with arsenic or cadmium excess in plants.
The metalloid arsenic and the heavy metal cadmium have no demonstrated biological function in plants. Both elements are highly toxic and of major concern with respect to their accumulation in soils, in the food-chain or in drinking water. Arsenate is taken up by phosphate transporters and rapidly reduced to arsenite, As(III). In reducing environments, As(III) is taken up by aquaporin nodulin 26...
متن کاملCadmium accumulation in aortas of smokers.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a smoking-related disorder. Cadmium, inhaled from cigarettes, may accumulate in the aorta and facilitate weakening of the aorta through adverse effects on smooth muscle cell metabolism. Cadmium was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry in infrarenal aortas from 13 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and from 17 age- and sex-matched patients with normal-diam...
متن کاملCadmium and Plants
s Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that enters the environment through various anthropogenic sources, and inhibits plant growth and development. Cadmium toxicity may result from disturbance in plant metabolism as a consequence of disturbance in the uptake and translocation of mineral nutrients. Plant nutrients and Cd compete for the same transport-ers and, therefore, presence of Cd results i...
متن کاملCadmium uptake by plants.
Food chain contamination by cadmium (Cd) is the most important pathway of Cd exposure to the general population, excluding smokers. Factors affecting transfer of Cd from soil and air to plants are reviewed. The direct deposition of airborne Cd in the plants has only a marginal influence on the crop Cd concentrations in rural areas with low atmospheric Cd deposition, i.e. < 2 g Cd ha(-1) y(-1). ...
