摘要： Cadmium (Cd) in soil and water streams is now recognized as a significant environmental issue that harms plants and animals. Plants damaged by Cd toxicity experience various effects, from germination to yield reduction. Plant- and animal-based goods are allowing more Cd to enter our food chain, which could harm human health. Therefore, this urgent global concern must be addressed by implementing appropriate remedial measures. Plantbased phytoremediation is one safe, economical, and environmentally acceptable way to remove hazardous metals from the environment. Hyperaccumulator plants possess specialized transport proteins, such as metal transporters located in membranes of roots, as well as they facilitate Cd uptake from soil. This review outlines the latest findings about these membrane transporters. Moreover, we also discuss how innovative modern tools such as microbiomes, omics, nanotechnology, and genome editing have revealed molecular regulators connected to Cd tolerance, which may be employed to develop Cd-tolerant future plants. We can develop effective solutions to enhance tolerance of plant to Cd toxicity by leveraging membrane transporters and modern biotechnological tools. Additionally, implementing strategies to increase tolerance of Cd and restrict its bioavailability in plants' edible parts is crucial for improving food safety. These combined efforts will lead to the cultivation of safer food crops and support sustainable agricultural practices in contaminated environments.
