In this manuscript, recent research from this laboratory into physiological and molecular
aspects of heavy metal (Zn) transport in the hyperaccumulating plant species, Thlaspi …

An integrated molecular and physiological investigation of the fundamental mechanisms of
heavy metal accumulation was conducted in Thlaspi caerulescens, a Zn/Cd …

Growth and zinc uptake of the hyperaccumulator species Thlaspi caerulescens J. & C. Presl
and the non‐hyperaccumulator species Thlaspi ochroleucum Boiss. & Heldr. were …

Heavy metal hyperaccumulation in plants is an intriguing and poorly understood
phenomenon. Transmembrane metal transporters are assumed to play a key role in this …

Radiotracer techniques were employed to characterize 65Zn2+ influx into the root symplasm
and translocation to the shoot in Thlaspi caerulescens, a Zn hyperaccumulator, and Thlaspi …

We investigated Zn compartmentation in the root, Zn transport into the xylem, and Zn
absorption into leaf cells in Thlaspi caerulescens, a Zn-hyperaccumulator species, and …

Sedum alfredii Hance can accumulate Zn in shoots over 2%. Leaf and stem Zn
concentrations of the hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) were 24-and 28-fold higher …

Using the noninvasive technique of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we have been
able to determine the ligand environment of Zn in different tissues of the Zn …

We describe the isolation of an Arabidopsis gene that is closely related to the animal ZnT
genes (Zn t ransporter). The protein encoded by the ZAT (Z n transporter of A rabidopsis t …

Cellular compartmentation of Zn in the leaves of the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens
was investigated using energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis and single-cell sap extraction …
