Abstract:Abstracts:Arsenic pollution has attracted more and more people's attention and becomes one of the most environmental pollution problems urgently needed to be solved. The author analyzes the hormesis effect of arsenic on the physiological activities in plants and the physiological responses of plants under different arsenic valences.It expounds the mechanisms of absorption、transport and discharge of arsenic(Ⅲ) and arsenic(V) in plants and emphatically discusses the response mechanisms of antioxidant enzymes, phytochelatins (PC) and glutathione (GSH) to arsenic in plants, which provides some reference to the research of phytoremediation of soil arsenic pollution.
