Abstract

Heavy metal pollution in the soil results in the accumulation of heavy metals in plants. While heavy metals are toxic to plants, plants also resist the toxicity of heavy metals through the mechanism of avoidance and tolerance. In this paper the research progress on the mechanism of plant resistance to heavy metal stress is reviewed in order to provide scientific reference for further research in this area.
