Plants are very often confronted by different heavy metal (HM) stressors that adversely impair their growth and productivity. Among HMs, chromium (Cr) is one of the most prevalent toxic trace metals found in agricultural soils because anthropogenic activities, lack efficient treatment, unregulated disposal. It has a huge detrimental impact on physiological, biochemical, molecular traits crops, addition to being carcinogenic humans. In soil, Cr exists forms, including (III) "trivalent" (VI) "hexavalent", but pervasive severely hazardous form biota (VI). Despite extensive research effects stress, exact mechanisms sensing, uptake, translocation, phytotoxicity, transcript processing, translation, post-translational protein modifications, as well plant defensive responses still largely unknown. Even though plants transporter system, it efficiently accumulated transported other essential ion transporters, hence posing serious challenge development Cr-tolerant cultivars. this review, we discuss toxicity plants, signaling perception, transduction.
