Abstract
Copper (Cu) is a vital trace element necessary for plants growth and development. It acts as a co-factor for enzymes and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including photosynthesis, respiration, antioxidant systems, and hormone signaling transduction. However, excessive amounts of Cu can disrupt normal physiological metabolism, thus hindering plant growth, development, and reducing yield. In recent years, the widespread abuse of Cu-containing fungicides and industrial Cu pollution has resulted in significant soil contamination. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to uncover the adverse effects of excessive Cu on plant growth and delve into the molecular mechanisms employed by plants to counteract the stress caused by excessive Cu. Recent studies have confirmed the inhibitory effects of excess Cu on mineral nutrition, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and antioxidant enzyme activity. This review systematically outlines the ways in which plants tolerate excessive Cu stress and summarizes them into eight Cu-tolerance strategies. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity for further research to comprehend the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying the responses to excessive Cu stress.
期刊介绍:
Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, research manuscripts as well as commissioned reviews and commentaries recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in the broad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics, functional plant breeding, systems biology and the interaction of plants with the environment.
Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report. The main criterion for publication is that the manuscript must contain original and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of fundamental plant biology. Papers centering on plant cell culture should be of interest to a wide audience and methods employed result in a substantial improvement over existing established techniques and approaches. Methods papers are welcome only when the technique(s) described is novel or provides a major advancement of established protocols.
