Abstract

Anthropogenic activities and the inadequate disposal of their waste have caused the accumulation of heavy metals in the soil. Chromium VI is one of the most toxic heavy metals in the environment, which causes changes in the gene expression of different plant species. Some have been able to adapt to this polluted environment using strategies, such as some enzymatic systems that protect them from oxidative stress generated by the presence of Chromium VI in the medium.
