Response and Tolerance of Fabaceae Plants to Metal/Metalloid Toxicity

Abstract

Plant of Fabaceae family or legumes are familiar for their nitrogen-fixing ability as well as their indispensable role in livestock and human health, in improving soil health and sustainable agricultural production. Excess toxic metals/metalloids in soil are one of the most important environmental reasons that hinder plant growth and productivity of a wide range of plant species including Fabaceae plant. On account of tolerance ability, member of Fabaceae plant varies and elevated level of metals/metalloids affected growth and yield of plant to the highest degree. Generally, Fabaceae plant can tolerate a small amount of metals/metalloids without compromising the growth and yield due to their well-established antioxidant defense system, osmolyte synthesis, hormone regulation, and chelation. Plant of Fabaceae family is also known for their phytoremediation capability. Plant scientists are trying to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of Fabaceae plant to metals/metalloids toxicity. In this chapter, we synthesized the recent research findings on diverse features of metals/metalloids stress tolerance approaches.
