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.
