This study aims to delineate the impact of Cd accumulation on mitochondrial structure and function in <em>S. nigrum</em> leaves, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for enhancing its application in phytoremediation of Cd-polluted soils. The results showed that the Cd content in mitochondria would gradually reach saturation with the increase of Cd treatment concentration. However, the accumulation of Cd led to osmotic pressure imbalance and morphological changes within mitochondria, which in turn caused a series of impairments in mitochondrial function. Cd severely damaged the energy metabolism function of mitochondria, especially under 200 μM CdCl<sub>2</sub> stress, the mitochondrial ATP content decreased by 90.65 % and the activity of H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase decreased by 80.65 %. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria accumulated mainly in the form of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Compared with the non-Cd control group, the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> content in the Cd-treated groups (50, 100, and 200 μM CdCl<sub>2</sub>) increased by 61.62 %, 186.69 %, and 405.81 %, respectively. The inhibition of cellular respiration by Cd and the sharp increase in ROS exacerbated the oxidative damage in mitochondria.

Nodulin 26-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) facilitate the transport of As(III), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), and monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), while phosphate transporters (PHTs) mediate As(V) uptake due to its similarity to phosphate. Internalized As is detoxified through sulfur (S)-rich molecules like glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins (PCs), forming thiol-As complexes.

Understanding these molecular mechanisms is crucial for mitigating As toxicity. This review outlines the roles of transporters and their regulation controlling As detoxification.
