Sulfur in the Alleviation of Cadmium-Induced Oxidative Stress in Plants

摘要: The toxicity of cadmium (Cd) is an emerging environmental problem that has attracted the attention plant scientists all over world. It deteriorates soil, and human health. Researchers have focused their in evolving strategies to reduce its at cellular, molecular and/or whole level. Sulfur important nutrient takes part metabolism provides vigor plants under stressful environments. This element could be used agricultural system for reducing Cd increasing sustainability. uptake results formation first stable product cysteine through a cascade enzymatic reactions. leads synthesis glutathione, nonenzymatic antioxidant known involved detoxification either quenching reactive oxygen species or phytochelatin binds sequester it into vacuole. Manipulation sulfur-assimilating enzymes, cysteine, glutathione content possibly lead detoxification. present work gives insight role sulfur alleviation stress.
