Heavy metal toxicity is an everlasting environmental hazard affecting our ecosystem including plants and animals respectively. Assimilation of heavy metal has increased drastically with the expansion of world-wide population and environmental pollution. The high level of contamination by these metals such as lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (Ar) & mercury (Hg) is detrimental. Their uptake by plants and subsequent accumulation in food crops is exceedingly harmful as it alters biochemical, physiological, and metabolic processes of the plants. This comprehensive review focuses on the negative effects of heavy metal in growth and development of food crops. In-depth discussion is further conducted on morphological changes, antioxidant enzyme activities, oxidative damages, & DPPH- scavenging activity.
