图书简介
Arsenic in Plants: Uptake, Consequences and Remediation Techniques provides complete coverage of the subject, detailing the phytotoxicity of arsenic, arsenic in our environment, usage of arsenicals in crop fields, and arsenics 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 speciation and transportation in plants as well as 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, the impact of exogenous phytohormones and growth regulating substances, management of arsenic contamination in soil-plant continuum, phytoremediation of arsenic toxicity, and physical removal of arsenic from water. More general discussion, such as on how this metalloid affects the plant as well as human system severely by interrupting important physiological and molecular processes, is also included. Topics covered include: Historical background of arsenic, an introduction to arsenic, and the mechanisms of arsenic transport and metabolism in plants Arsenic induced responses in plants, including impacts 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 can use the 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.
