The paper "Research Progress of the Detection and Analysis Methods of Heavy Metals in Plants" by Shuang He et al. reviews the recent advancements in detecting and analyzing heavy metals (HM) in plants. The authors highlight the urgent need for reliable and practical techniques to monitor HM content in plants, as HM-induced stress can lead to their enrichment in plants, posing health risks through the food chain. The paper discusses various detection and analysis techniques, including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT), and omics and molecular biology approaches. These techniques are used to determine HM concentration, chemical form, spatial distribution, uptake, and transport in plants. The principles, advantages, and applications of these methods are detailed, along with their limitations. The paper also explores the current state and challenges of these technologies and provides guidance for selecting appropriate methods for future research. The review aims to promote innovation in HM detection technologies and offer insights for future studies on HM accumulation in plants.The paper "Research Progress of the Detection and Analysis Methods of Heavy Metals in Plants" by Shuang He et al. reviews the recent advancements in detecting and analyzing heavy metals (HM) in plants.
