Uptake kinetics and translocation characteristics of cadmium and zinc are presented for two
contrasting ecotypes of the Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens, Ganges …

Abstract Uptake of Cd and Zn by intact seedlings of two contrasting ecotypes of the
hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens was characterized using radioactive tracers. Uptake …

The capacity to accumulate cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) was compared in Thlaspi
goesingense and four populations of Thlaspi caerulescens. Two populations of T …

Efficient root‐to‐shoot translocation is a key trait of the zinc/cadmium hyperaccumulators
Thlaspi caerulescens and Thlaspi praecox, but the extent of variation among different …

Arabidopsis halleri is a well‐known zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulator, but its status as a cadmium
(Cd) hyperaccumulator is less certain. Here, we investigated whether A. halleri can …

Cadmium (Cd) is present in many soils and, when entering the food chain, represents a
major health threat to humans. Reducing Cd accumulation in plants is complicated by the …

We investigated changes in mineral nutrient uptake and cellular expression levels for metal
transporter genes in the cadmium (Cd)/zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulator, Thlaspi caerulescens …

We have previously identified an ecotype of the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens
(Ganges), which is far superior to other ecotypes (including Prayon) in Cd uptake. In this …

Hyperaccumulators store accumulated metals in the vacuoles of large leaf epidermal cells
(storage cells). For investigating cadmium uptake, we incubated protoplasts obtained from …

Cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulation in Thlaspi caerulescens varies among ecotypes. Here we
investigated segregation of Cd and zinc (Zn) accumulation in F2 crosses between high …
