Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) is a very straightforward phenolic compound (C7H6O3,
which consists of an aromatic ring, one carboxylic group, and a hydroxyl
group), but despite its apparent simplicity, SA plays an important role in a
number of plant processes, both under ideal circumstances and in plants that
are experiencing challenges. Heavy metal (HM) stress is one of the
environmental triggers. A vast collection of evidence has just been shown that
SA regulates plant growth and affects communication between plants as well as
within them due to the substance's volatile methyl ester form, methyl
salicylate. SA interacts with other plant hormones (such as auxin, abscisic
acid, and gibberellin) under stress, particularly HM stress, and encourages the
production of antioxidant chemicals and enzymes, alerting HM-treated plants and
aiding in the counteraction of HM stress. In order to give a complete picture
of SA and HM and to guide the direction of future research on this topic, the
present literature survey summarizes recent material on the roles of SA in
plants experiencing HM stress.
