Y. Oono et al. in "Genome-Wide Transcriptome Analysis of Cadmium Stress in Rice" used RNAseq strategy to elucidate the molecular basis of the rice response to cadmium (Cd) stress, a widespread heavy metal pollutant that is highly toxic to living cells, negatively affecting nutrient uptake and homeostasis in plants. A. Vian et al. in "Plant Responses to High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields" conducted an original review, looking at the possible effects of HF-EMFs, which are increasingly present in the environment (due to, e.g., cell phones, Wi-Fi, and different types of connected devices) on different essential plant metabolic activities, such as reactive oxygen species metabolism, Krebs cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, chlorophyll content, and terpene emission.
