Abstract

A significant amount of heavy metals have been added to the soil and water as a result of more anthropogenic and natural activity. Both humans and plants are much disturbed by these. As a result, there is a growing interest in the scientific study of the toxicity of heavy metals in plants. In this way, osmolytes, such as proline, are organic substances that typically control the sustenance and growth of plants that are commonly grown in the areas. Therefore, increasing the activity of various enzymes and metabolic pathways by adding proline or/by introducing gene(s) is a very effective strategy to deal with the toxicity of heavy metals. The specific function of proline in protecting against the toxicity of heavy metals has been briefly reviewed in this review.
