| Abstract | In natural environment, plants consist of both metabolic and tolerant mechanisms in toxic non-essential metals like Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury. Natural activities composed of mining and smelting operations, including some haphazard practices in agriculture, have extensively contaminated some areas around the world—as for instances, in India, Japan, Indonesia and China by Cadmium, Copper and Arsenic and Copper and Lead in Greece. In fact, South-East Asia is suffering from the contamination of the groundwater Arsenic, as in the same way the existence of Copper, Lead, Nickel, Zinc and Cadmium is nothing new in some parts of Australia. Indeed, heavy metal contamination has become a worldwide problem. The uptake as well as accumulation of the aforesaid metals by plants is the main factor responsible for threatening the health of both man and animal into their food by toxic metals. The production of phytochelatins, a metal-binding thiol peptide and metallothionin, to react against the heavy metal stress may have provided for an appropriate metal tolerance in plants but needs a comprehensive study on it; for a better understanding on the different metal transports, their accumulations as well as over expressions in plants would definitely pave the better ways to develop metal tolerant plants or transgenics. Keeping the rising concerns over heavy metal stress affecting agriculture produce and plants in view in water; this review aims at throwing light as a tip on the iceberg about the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of metal accumulations, their responses and detoxification to the toxicity as well as to the metal stress tolerant plants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
