Progress is being made in understanding the biochemical and molecular basis of nickel
(Ni)/zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulation in Thlaspi; however, the molecular signaling pathways that …

Worldwide more than 400 plant species are now known that hyperaccumulate various trace
metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Zn), metalloids (As) and nonmetals (Se) in their shoots. Of …

Abstract Background The Ni hyperaccumulator Thlaspi goesingense is tolerant to Ni≅ Zn,≅
Co and slightly resistant to> Cd. We previously observed that elevated glutathione, driven by …

Abstract Key message Sensitivity to Erysiphe in Noccaea praecox with low metal supply is
related to the failure in enhancing SA. Cadmium protects against fungal-infection by direct …

Plants that hyperaccumulate Ni exhibit an exceptional degree of Ni tolerance and the ability
to translocate Ni in large amounts from root to shoot. In hyperaccumulator plants in the …

Some heavy metals (HM) are highly reactive and consequently can be toxic to living cells
when present at high levels. Consequently, strategies for reducing HM toxicity in the …

Metal hyperaccumulators are plants that are capable of extracting metals from the soil and
accumulating them to extraordinary concentrations in aboveground tissues (greater than …

Naturally selected nickel (Ni) tolerance in Alyssum lesbiacum has been proposed to involve
constitutively high levels of endogenous free histidine. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana …

Metal hyperaccumulation, in which plants store exceptional concentrations of metals in their
shoots, is an unusual trait whose evolutionary and ecological significance has prompted …

Plant metal hyperaccumulator species are widely used as models to unravel the heavy
metal tolerance and hyperaccumulation mechanisms. Thlaspi caerulescens is capable of …
