Abstract- Mineral toxicity stress significantly affects plant growth and development, posing a major challenge to agriculture and ecosystem health. This research paper reviews the multifaceted impact of mineral toxicity on plants, focusing on physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses. Mineral toxicity disrupts essential processes such as nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, and cellular metabolism, leading to stunted growth, chlorosis, and reduced yield. The paper explores genetic variability in tolerance to mineral toxicity among plant species and highlights advanced breeding and biotechnological strategies to enhance resilience. Environmental factors influencing mineral availability and strategies for soil management and phytoremediation are also discussed. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective mitigation techniques and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices.
