Key Findings
Heavy metal accumulation triggers morpho-anatomical changes in plant tissues, including alterations to cell structure and organ morphology
Physiological responses such as disrupted photosynthesis and water relations were observed under heavy metal stress
Biochemical defense mechanisms, including antioxidant enzyme activity, were upregulated in response to heavy metal exposure
