Abstract Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg) is among the heavy metals most hazardous for plant and human health.
Known to induce oxidative stress in plants and disbalance equilibrium in the antioxidant defence system, these
metals alter plant growth and cause damage at the cellular and molecular levels. Soybean is an important oilseed
crop that is raised in soils often contaminated by Cd and Hg. The comparative studies on the deleterious effect of
Cd and Hg and the defence system of antioxidants were not studied earlier in soybean plant. In this study, soybean plants were exposed to Cd (100 µM CdCl2) and… More >
