Plant Cell Responses to Cadmium and Zinc

  • Chapter

Applied Plant Cell Biology

Part of the book series: Plant Cell Monographs ((CELLMONO,volume 22))

Abstract

Control of uptake, radial transport, translocation and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) or excessive amounts of zinc (Zn) from the polluted environment to vegetative and generative organs of plants is critical both for plants and in consequence also for human beings in relation with food safety. These processes are controlled by checkpoints at specific sites of the plant body. These checkpoints are represented by cells at the root surface, the root cortex, and the cells responsible for loading of the root xylem, the transition between the vascular systems of root and shoot, and the connecting tissues and cells at the nodes of the segmented stem. Control by these checkpoints is based on the structural and functional characteristics of specialized cells and tissues. The present contribution reviews the mechanisms of Cd and Zn uptake, transport and deposition, tissue and cellular localization as well as various proteomic and metabolomic responses. The knowledge on the responses of plant cells to Cd and excessive amounts of Zn might inspire further research focused on these topics and is essential to use plants for phytoremediation (restoration of contaminated sites) and phytofortification (improved quality of food and feed), thus improving human well-being.
