Although Cd does not participate in the Fenton reaction, Introduction its role on the redox plant homeostasis is related to an increase of oxidative stress (Romero-Puertas et al. 2007). Cadmium (Cd) was discovered in 1817 by a physician, F. The antioxidant defense against Cd comprises the expres- sion of genes encoding for enzymes like superoxide Stromeyer, during a test of toxicity attributed to some medicine containing zinc oxide (Krebs 2006). Nowadays, dismutase (SODs), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase after 200 years since its discovery, Cd is considered an (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione extremely significant pollutant because of its high toxicity S-transferase (GST); non-enzymatic lipid-soluble mem- for living organisms. Its concentration in soil was found brane-associated molecules like tocopherol, xanthophylls progressively increased reaching up to +43 % comparing and β-carotene, and water-soluble reductant molecules the data related to 100 years ago in several European such as ascorbic acid and glutathione (Azevedo et al. 2012; countries (UNEP 2010).
