“…Increasing concentration of Fe (40, 80, and 160 mM) enhanced lipid peroxidation in Bacopa monnieri (Sinha and Basant 2009). Similarly, elevation in lipid peroxidation in a number of plants due to their exposure to Cu (Posmyk et al 2009;Opdenakker et al 2012;Singh et al 2012;Thounaojam et al 2012;Elleuch et al 2013;Ansari et al 2013a), Ni (Kazemi et al 2010;Gajewska et al 2012), Se (Malik et al 2012), As (Ansari et al 2013b), Pb (Qureshi et al 2007;Maldonado-Magaña et al 2011), Cr (Diwan et al 2008;2010), and some other heavy metals/metalloids was reported to be dependent on their doses and plant types (Sytar et al 2013). The main site of attack by any redox active metal in a plant cell is usually the cell membrane.…”

Stress factors provoke enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. ROS that escape antioxidant-mediated scavenging/detoxification react with biomolecules such as cellular lipids and proteins and cause irreversible damage to the structure of these molecules, initiate their oxidation, and subsequently inactivate key cellular functions. The lipid- and protein-oxidation products are considered as the significant oxidative stress biomarkers in stressed plants. Also, there exists an abundance of information on the abiotic stress-mediated elevations in the generation of ROS, and the modulation of lipid and protein oxidation in abiotic stressed plants. However, the available literature reflects a wide information gap on the mechanisms underlying lipid- and protein-oxidation processes, major techniques for the determination of lipid- and protein-oxidation products, and on critical cross-talks among these aspects. Based on recent reports, this article (a) introduces ROS and highlights their relationship with abiotic stress-caused consequences in crop plants, (b) examines critically the various physiological/biochemical aspects of oxidative damage to lipids (membrane lipids) and proteins in stressed crop plants, (c) summarizes the principles of current technologies used to evaluate the extent of lipid and protein oxidation, (d) synthesizes major outcomes of studies on lipid and protein oxidation in plants under abiotic stress, and finally, (e) considers a brief cross-talk on the ROS-accrued lipid and protein oxidation, pointing to the aspects unexplored so far.

In recent years, copper (Cu) pollution in agricultural soils, due to arbitrary use of pesticides, fungicides, industrial effluent and wastewater irrigation, present a major concern for sustainable agrifood production especially in developing countries. The world's major food requirement is fulfilled through agricultural food crops. The Cu-induced losses in growth and yield of food crops probably exceeds from all other causes of food safety and security threats. Here, we review the adverse effects of Cu excess on growth and yield of essential food crops. Numerous studies reported the Cu-induced growth inhibition, oxidative damage and antioxidant response in agricultural food crops such as wheat, rice, maize, sunflower and cucumber. This article also describes the toxic levels of Cu in crops that decreased plant growth and yield due to alterations in mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, enzyme activities and decrease in chlorophyll biosynthesis. The response of various crops to elevated Cu concentrations varies depending upon nature of crop and cultivars used. This review could be helpful to understand the Cu toxicity and the mechanism of its tolerance in food crops. We recommend that Cu-tolerant crops should be grown on Cu-contaminated soils in order to ameliorate the toxic effects for sustainable farming systems and to meet the food demands of the intensively increasing population.

“…Hyperaccumulator species are capable of accumulating contaminants at levels 100‐fold greater than those typically measured in common non‐accumulator plants. Most hyperaccumulators bioconcentrate nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), and/or zinc (Zn) , for example, the Indian variety of Brassica juncea Pusa Jai kisan was reported for hyperaccumulating Cu and arsenic (As) contaminated soil . A detailed understanding of mechanism of uptake/translocation and sequestration of contaminants by hyperaccumulators can lead to understanding the molecular mechanism of accumulation and tolerance in these plants.…”

Fluoride pollution is now recognized as a global problem. The reason fluorides are considered as serious contaminants even when they are present at low levels is that they persist for a long time in air, soil, and water and exert negative effects at all levels of an ecosystem. Thus, immediate attention is the need of the hour to remediate the environment from F pollution. Till date, the conventional methods have been developed primarily to remove F from water. These methods are very slow and expensive. Besides, not much research has been done so far to remediate F from soil. This review focuses on the uptake and accumulation of F by certain aquatic and land plant species. Exploring these plants by analysis of their tissues for accumulated contaminants may open up several opportunities to be utilized to remediate F rich water and soil.
