商品描述
In many parts of the world, soil and water are slightly to moderately contaminated with metals and metalloids such as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr, Pb, Si, B and As. This could be due to long-term use of phosphatic fertilizers, sewage sludge application, dust from smelters, industrial waste and bad watering practices in agricultural lands. Beside natural factors, human activities have contributed to the enormous increase in heavy metal and/or metalloid pollution in the environment. Metal and metalloid stress are major abiotic stress factors that limit crop production and reduce agricultural yield. The primary response of plants is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon exposure to high levels of metals/metalloids. They either generate ROS directly through Haber-Weiss reactions or overproduction of ROS and occurrence of oxidative stress in plants could be the indirect consequence of metals/metalloids toxicity. The indirect mechanisms include their interaction with the antioxidant system, disrupting the electron transport chain or disturbing the metabolism of essential elements. One of the most deleterious effects induced by heavy metals exposure in plants is lipid peroxidation, which can directly cause biomembrane deterioration.
The impact of metals/metalloids on plant water relations has to be distinguished from their effects on water availability in soils, on root growth, limiting water uptake, as well as other phytotoxic effects. If soils are high in soluble salts (including heavy metal salts), the osmotic potential in the soil solution might be lower than the potential of the cell sap in root. Under these circumstances, the soil solution would severely restrict the rate of water uptake by plants and lead to osmotic stress. Further, the negative influence metals/metalloids have on the growth and activities of soil microorganisms, may also indirectly affect the growth of plants.
In the book "Metals and Metalloids in Plant Signaling", we elucidated the effects of metals/metalloids on signaling and communication cascades in plants. The general aim of the present book is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current situation and development in the field and to develop a science-based theoretical foundation for the conceptualization, and practical application. The various chapters are based on the consideration of metals/metalloids in terms of their action on different regulatory and functional systems of plants (signaling, metabolism, uptake, and transport mechanisms, etc.).
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在世界許多地區,土壤和水中都輕度到中度受到金屬和金屬類似物(如鎘、銅、鋅、鎳、鈷、鉻、鉛、矽、硼和砷)的污染。這可能是由於長期使用磷肥、污水污泥施用、冶煉廠的灰塵、工業廢棄物和農田灌溉不當等原因。除了自然因素外,人類活動也導致了環境中重金屬和/或金屬類似物污染的巨大增加。金屬和金屬類似物的壓力是限制作物生產和減少農業產量的主要非生物壓力因素。植物的主要反應是在暴露於高水平的金屬/金屬類似物時產生活性氧自由基(ROS)。它們通過Haber-Weiss反應直接產生ROS,或者ROS的過度產生和植物中的氧化壓力的發生可能是金屬/金屬類似物毒性的間接結果。間接機制包括它們與抗氧化系統的相互作用,干擾電子傳遞鏈或干擾必需元素的代謝。重金屬暴露對植物產生的最具破壞性的影響之一是脂質過氧化,這可能直接導致生物膜的惡化。
金屬/金屬類似物對植物水分關係的影響必須與其對土壤中水分可用性、根系生長的影響以及其他植物毒性效應區分開來。如果土壤中可溶性鹽(包括重金屬鹽)含量高,土壤溶液中的滲透潛勢可能低於根部細胞汁液的潛勢。在這種情況下,土壤溶液將嚴重限制植物的水分吸收速率,並導致滲透壓壓力。此外,金屬/金屬類似物對土壤微生物的生長和活動的負面影響也可能間接影響植物的生長。
在書籍《植物信號中的金屬和金屬類似物》中,我們闡明了金屬/金屬類似物對植物信號和通訊級聯的影響。本書的一般目標是全面分析該領域的現狀和發展,並為概念化和實際應用提供基於科學的理論基礎。各章節基於對金屬/金屬類似物在植物的不同調節和功能系統(信號、代謝、吸收和運輸機制等)上的作用的考慮而撰寫。
