ABSTRACT
Due to much more natural and anthropogenic activities, heavy amount of heavy metals have been added into the soil as well as into the water. These cause great disturbances in plants as well in human beings. So, there is a wide interest in the field of scientific research against heavy metals toxicity role in plants. In this way, Osmolytes such as proline is organic substance which normally regulates plant growth and nourishment of plants, grown widely in the areas. Hence, by applying proline or/by inserting of gene(s) boost up the activity of different enzymes and metabolic pathways are very effective to cope with heavy metals toxicity. In this review, the specific role of Proline against heavy metals toxicity has been briefly discussed.
Key words: Proline, heavy metals, Toxicity, Growth and Nourishment of Plants
