Opis

This volume is an exhaustive compilation of recent studies encompassing genomics, metabolomics, ionomics, proteomics and transcriptomics in metal non-hyper-accumulators and hyper-accumulators in response to different metals.

Recenzje

Heavy metal pollution and its effect on plant health are of great concern to researchers and anyone involved in agricultural or industrial production. Like many real-world problems, the issue is complex and spans multiple fields of study. This edited collection covers the topic extensively, beginning with a basic overview and organismic effects, then moving to molecular aspects and bioremediation. The contributors dug deep into the literature and provide extensive lists of references.
