Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential highly toxic element that poses a potential health threat for plants, humans, and animals at considerably smaller concentrations. Plants can uptake Cd from soil and water due to its high mobility. In this review, the plant responses towards Cd phytotoxicity and the mechanism of Cd tolerance are summarized. Prevalent responses of Cd toxicity in plants are DNA damage, alteration in gene expression, cell division, and cell death which lead to metabolic, anatomic, and morphological modifications ranging from protein degradation to lower uptake of water and nutrients, chlorosis, inhibition of photosynthesis, and crop yield losses. Plants possess an array of mechanisms like cell wall binding, reduced transport, compartmentation in the vacuole, and chelation with metallothioneins, or phytochelatins in the detoxification and thus tolerance to Cd. Some plants develop structural and genetic adaption to achieve tolerance to Cd. Activation of plant antioxidative defense system and modulation of hormonal levels, alteration of secondary metabolites, and higher mineral nutrition triggers alleviation of Cd stress. The current state of knowledge on the effect of Cd stress and possible management strategies to avert damage and develop Cd-resistant crops have also been discussed.

The Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research findings in the fields of soil science, plant nutrition, agriculture, and environmental science. Submissions related to soil science may cover aspects such as physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, mineralogy, ecology, soil science, soil classification, and improvement. Submissions in plant nutrition and agriculture may include studies on plant production, plant physiology and metabolism, plant ecology, diversity and sustainability of agricultural systems, and the effects of organic and inorganic fertilization on the yield and quality of plants and ecosystems. The journal also welcomes submissions addressing soil degradation, environmental pollution, nature conservation, and environmental protection. The journal considers original research articles, technical notes, brief communications, and reviews (both voluntary and invited), as well as letters to the editor.
