Microbial assisted Metal uptake Growth Response and Antioxidative Defence Mechanism in Atriplex deserticola and A lentiformis

Abstract

Accumulation of heavy metals within the environment and notably in soil from which newlinethey are transferred into living organisms either via groundwater, food (crops, newlinecultivated food plants, fish, animals), and food chain, is a matter of growing newlineenvironmental concern. At present, heavy metals and metalloids such as Arsenic (first newlineplace), Lead (second place), Mercury (third place), and Cadmium (seventh place) are newlinecurrently on the top ten priority list of threatening substances as issued annually by newlinethe American Agency for the toxic substances and Disease Registry newline
