Bioaccumulation and detoxification mechanisms for lead uptake identified in Cosmos sulphureus Cav. seedlings.

Lead (Pb) stress disrupts plant growth and cellular homeostasis; however, the underlying multi-omics molecular network and Pb immobilization mechanisms in Cosmos sulphureus Cav. remain to be fully clarified. Here, Pb toxicity significantly reduced leaf area and biomass, while root morphology exhibited a dose-dependent...
