The Early Oxidative Stress Induced by Mercury and Cadmium Is Modulated by Ethylene in <i>Medicago sativa</i> Seedlings

The Early Oxidative Stress Induced by Mercury and Cadmium Is Modulated by Ethylene in <i>Medicago sativa</i> Seedlings

Cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) are ubiquitous soil pollutants that promote the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, causing oxidative stress. Tolerance depends on signalling processes that activate different defence barriers, such as accumulation of small heat sock proteins (sHSPs), activation of...
