Preface
The origin of life required a stimulating and binding element, and metal served the purpose by integrating into the backbone soup of life. The integration of metal dates back to the origin of life—starting from the basic building blocks in the form of its integration with heme and leading to the origin and diversification of the human era. However, this integration was seen across all the diverse forms of plants, thus allowing them to sustain and adapt to the changing environment and providing a sustainable source of food and energy. With the rapidly advancing sequencing technologies, indispensable efforts have been leveraged to understand the connecting link between the metal abundance and the genetic gain and loss from a plant adaptation perspective. Several approaches such as next generation genome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, laser-associated transcriptome sequencing, localization imaging techniques, and posttranscriptional and translational modifications have been widely used to establish the connecting link between the metal and the associated plant growth in a metal-contaminated environment. A significant proportion of the crop genetic research is focused on establishing and finding the elusive blocks of knowledgeable connec
