Heavy metal toxicity and tolerance in plants : a biological omics and genetic engineering approach This book will provide a comprehensive overview of the physiological biochemical and molecular basis of heavy metal tolerance and functional omics that will allow for a deeper understanding of using heavy metal tolerance for deliberate manipulation of plants to increase tolerance to heavy metal toxicity deficiency crop quality improvement as well as phytoremediation. This book will help researchers to develop strategies to enhance metal toxicity deficiency tolerance as well as crop productivity under stressful conditions and to better utilize natural resources to ensure future food security and be a valuable reference for researchers working on developing plants tolerant to metal stress and effective strategies for reducing the risk of health hazards
