Heavy metal stress and mitogen activated kinase transcription factors in plants: Exploring heavy metal‐ROS influences on plant signalling pathways

Plant Cell & Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 47(8), С. 2793 - 2810

Опубликована: Апрель 23, 2024

Due to their stationary nature, plants are exposed a diverse range of biotic and abiotic stresses, which heavy metal (HM) stress poses one the most detrimental targeting plant processes. HMs instigate overproduction reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitigate adverse effects ROS, induce multiple defence mechanisms. Besides negative implications these molecules play multitude signalling roles in plants, acting as central player complex network cells. One ROS-associated mechanisms is mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, pathway transduces extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses. Plant MAPKs have been implicated involved response, phytohormone regulation, cell cycle cues. However, influence various on MAPK activation has not well documented. In this review, we address summarise several aspects related HM-induced ROS signalling. Additionally, touch how signals activate cascade downstream transcription factors that responses HMs. Moreover, propose workflow could characterise genes associated with during HM

To investigate the remediation effects of various modified biochar materials derived from different impregnation agents on Cd- and Pb-contaminated calcareous soil, nitrogen (N-), phosphorus (P-), sulfur (S-), iron (Fe-) (NBC, PBC, SBC, FBC) were fabricated through impregnation-pyrolysis method employed to immobilize Pb Cd in soil. The characterization results showed that NBC exhibited an uneven pore size distribution increased aromaticity, while PBC SBC had pH ash content. Pot experiments demonstrated significantly soil immobilization plant uptake Pb. With regard pH, FBC caused a notable decrease both rhizosphere non-rhizosphere areas, other increase. NBC, effectively immobilized reduced their accumulation Chinese cabbage by 34.4 %-58.9 % for 9.2 %-53.1 Pb, with having best effect, attributed complexation, precipitation, adsorption.
