Comparative Analysis of Heavy Metal's Toxicity in Plants Physiology and its Remediation

Heavy metals (HMs) contaminate the environment worldwide, alter microflora structure, diversity, and function, degrade soils, and reduce plant growth and yield; that is why HMs treatment is essential to maintain soil health. Traditional approaches to heavy metals are expensive, not environmentally friendly, and adversely affect soil. Microbial application is an ecologically friendly tactic for the removal of heavy metals. Microorganisms augment soil health improvement, which is the vital enhancement of plants' response to abiotic stress via various mechanisms, including phytohormones, biosurfactants, exopolymers, antioxidant enzyme production, and organic acids. Heavy metals show an active part in nature since they are essential for plant growth stages as these are correspondingly tangled in relocating electrons and redox reactions, indeed a vital portion of numerous enzymes as a straight contributor and elementary role in the metabolism of nucleic acid but additional concentration consequences in numerous lethal paraphernalia. Hence, the present article comprised the evidence for an improved understanding of heavy metal toxicity in various plants and its accumulation mechanism by plants. The root is an imperative gateway for water absorption and organic nourishment in which an advanced metal concentration element likewise accompanies numerous lands, either essential (e. g. Fe, Cu, and Mn) or non-essential metal elements or else heavy metals (e. g. Al, Hg, Pb, Ag, and Cd). The way to control metal essentials entry in the cell includes chelation and protection of compounds able to nullify the impairment once the metal component arrives via metallothionein or photoheating composites. Moreover, before their existence, antioxidant compounds were released into vacuoles and additionally rooted in a cellular structure, preventing the dangerous absorption of metal from avoiding cellular injury and toxic effects.
