Response to Antimony Toxicity in <i>Dittrichia viscosa</i> Plants: ROS, NO, H<sub>2</sub>S, and the Antioxidant System

<i>Dittrichia viscosa</i> plants were grown hydroponically with different concentrations of Sb. There was preferential accumulation of Sb in roots. Fe and Cu decreased, while Mn decreased in roots but not in leaves. Chlorophyll content declined, but the carotenoid content increased, and...
