Phytoremediation is a cost-effective and environment-friendly strategy for decontaminating heavy-metal-contaminated soil.However, the practical use of phytoremediation is constrained by the low biomass of plants and l...
Arsenic (As), a potentially toxic metalloid released in the soil environment as a result of natural as well as anthropogenic processes, is subsequently taken up by crop plants. In rice grains, As has been reported i...

The halophyte Suaeda salsa can grow in heavy metal-polluted areas along intertidal zones having high salinity.Since phytochelatins can effectively chelate heavy metals,it was hypothesized that S.salsa possessed a phyt...
The printed version of this paper contained an error in one of the grant numbers in the funding section. The correct funding section should read as follows:
Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) (EC 2.3.2.15) catalyzes the final step of phytochelatins (PCs) biosynthesis. PCs are a family of cysteine-rich thiol-reactive and heavy metal- binding peptides that play an important role ...
Arsenic(As)speciation for the phytoremediation by the Chinese brake fern was studied.In particular,the mechanism of how plants induce compounds containing thiol(SH)and proteins by As exposure in terms of the relations...
