Description
Kashish Singh and co-authors review how heavy metals poison cereal crops, from soil uptake to damage inside the plant, and how the harm can be curbed, in a 2025 paper. Even trace amounts in food make these contaminants a quiet global threat, linked to cancers and genetic disorders, and they disturb soil life as well. Cereals feed huge markets, so their contamination carries wide stakes.
The review traces how roots take metals up, how the metals move and disrupt plant processes, and which countermeasures show promise. The authors frame the synthesis as groundwork for safer harvests and a more sustainable farming ecosystem.
