Copper toxicity affects phosphorus uptake mechanisms at molecular and physiological levels in Cucumis sativus plants.

Abstract excerpt

Due to the deliberate use of cupric fungicides in the last century for crop-defence programs, copper (Cu) has considerably accumulated in the soil. The concentrations of Cu often exceed the safety limits of risk assessment for Cu in soil and this may cause toxicity in plants. Copper toxicity induces nutritional imbalances in plants and constraints to plants growth. These aspects might be of paramount importance...
