Resistance alleviation strategies

Various mechanisms have been developed by plants to alleviate stress imposed by exposure to toxic metal concentrations. Although the biochemical and molecular bases of adaptation and resistance of plant communities to high metal levels will be discussed extensively in Chapter 3, a survey summarising the possible anti-metal stress defence strategies and mechanisms forms an essential part of this chapter on toxicology. Every plant species, whether it is resistant or not to high metal concentrations, possesses defence responses against increased metal concentrations in the cell indeed.
