The accumulation of a metabolic by product - methylglyoxal above a minimal range can be highly toxic in all organisms. Stress induced elevation in methylglyoxal inactivates proteins and nucleic acids. Glutathione dependent glyoxalase enzymes like glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II together with
Mangroves are susceptible to contamination due to their proximity to shores and human activities. Exposure to excessive trace metals can disturb their physiological functions and may eventually lead to death. Rhizophora mucronata is a common species growing in the mangrove forests of Thailand.
Metal pollution has been widely reported in mangrove wetlands; however, the mechanisms involved in metal detoxification by mangroves are still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the possible function of root anatomy and lignification/suberization on metal uptake and tolerance in
Metal pollution has been widely reported in mangrove wetlands; however, the mechanisms involved in metal detoxification by mangroves are still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the possible function of root lignification/suberization on Pb uptake and tolerance in mangroves. Two
