Heavy metal accumulation in soil and water from natural sources or
anthropogenic activities have produced severe environmental
contamination in some parts of the world due to the persistence of
metals in the environment by their accumulation throughout the food
chain. The purpose of this book is to present the most recent
advances in this field, mainly concerning the uptake and
translocation of heavy metals in plants, mechanisms of toxicity,
perception of metal and regulation of cell response under metal
stress. Another key feature of this book is related to the studies
on signaling and remediation processes in recent years, which have
taken advantage of recent technological advances including "omic"
approaches. In recent years transcriptomic, proteomic and
metabolomic studies have become very important tools for analyzing
both the dynamics of changes in gene expression and the profiles of
protein and metabolites under heavy metal stress. This information
is also very useful for plotting the complex signaling and
metabolic network induced by heavy metals, in which hormones and
reactive oxygen species (ROS) also play an important role.
Understanding the mechanism involved in sequestration and
hyperaccumulation is very important to developing new strategies of
phytoremediation, which are reviewed in several chapters of this
book. The information included yields very stimulating insights
into the mechanism involved in the regulation of plant responses to
heavy metals, which in turn improve our knowledge of cell
regulation under metal stress and the use of plants for
phytoremediation.
