Multilevel Mechanisms by Which Membrane Transport Proteins Regulate Plant Responses to Heavy Metal Stress: From Ion Perception and Uptake Control to Systemic Signaling and Translational Perspectives

ABSTRACT Soil heavy metal contamination—including cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn) excess, and copper (Cu) excess—poses a critical threat to sustainable agriculture and food safety. Membrane transport proteins serve as primary interfaces governing io...
