Abstract
In recent days, chromium (Cr) stress is one of the major problems in
agricultural soil which cause lethal damages to the plants and it becomes a
serious concern for public health by entering the food chain. In this review,
we discussed sources of Cr toxicity, its forms and Cr uptake mechanism and its
effects on plants. At high level, Cr interacts with cellular molecules which
results in unnecessary and excessive generation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS). Chromium toxicity caused damages to morphological, molecular and
physiological processes such as inhibition of growth attributes, reduction in
enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, DNA and cellular damage in plants. We
critically reviewed the mechanisms plants adapt during the stress by activating
antioxidant systems via ROS homeostasis.
