ARSENIC IN PLANTS COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE DETAILING THE CHEMISTRY,
TOXICITY AND IMPACT OF ARSENIC IN PLANTS, AND SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM
_Arsenic in Plants: Uptake, Consequences and Remediation Techniques_
provides comprehensive coverage of the subject, detailing arsenic in
our environment, the usage of arsenicals in crop fields, phytotoxicity
of arsenic and arsenic’s impact on the morphology, anatomy and
quantitative and qualitative traits of different plant groups,
including their physiology and biochemistry. The work emphasizes the
occurrence of arsenic, its speciation and transportation in plants,
and differences in mechanisms of tolerance in hyper-accumulator and
non-accumulator plants. Throughout the text, the highly qualified
authors delve into every facet of the interaction of arsenic with
plants, including the ionomics, genomics, transcriptomics and
proteomics in relation to arsenic toxicity, impact of exogenous
phytohormones and growth-regulating substances, management of arsenic
contamination in the soil-plant continuum, phytoremediation of arsenic
toxicity and physical removal of arsenic from water. General
discussion has also been included on subjects such as the ways through
which this metalloid affects plant and human systems. Topics covered
include:
* Introduction and historical background of arsenic and the mechanism
of arsenic transport and metabolism in plants
* Arsenic-induced responses in plants, including impact on
biochemical processes and different plant groups, from cyanobacteria
to higher plants
* The role of phytohormones, mineral nutrients, metabolites and
signaling molecules in regulating arsenic-induced toxicity in plants
* Genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, ionomic and transcriptional
regulation during arsenic stress
* Strategies to reduce the arsenic contamination in soil-plant
systems and arsenic removal by phytoremediation techniques
Researchers, academics, and students of plant physiology,
biotechnology, and agriculture will find valuable information in
_Arsenic in Plants_ to understand this pressing subject in full, along
with its implications and how we can adapt our strategies and
behaviors to promote reduced contamination through practical
applications.
