water-contamination
Water contamination refers to the presence of harmful pollutants—such as heavy metals, agricultural runoff, industrial chemicals, and pathogens—in water sources used by plants. For plant science, contaminated water poses direct threats to plant health, as uptake of toxic compounds can disrupt physiological processes, inhibit growth, and reduce crop yields. Understanding how plants respond to, tolerate, or accumulate water contaminants is critical for developing strategies to protect agricultural systems and even harness certain plants for phytoremediation of polluted environments.
