Background Metal-hyperaccumulating plant species are plants that are endemic to
metalliferous soils and are able to tolerate and accumulate metals in their above-ground …

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

Thlaspi caerulescens is a heavy metal hyperaccumulator plant species that is able to
accumulate extremely high levels of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in its shoots (30,000 μ gg …

Studying heavy metal hyperaccumulation is becoming more and more interesting for
ecological, evolutionary, nutritional, and environmental reasons. One model species …

The term “hyperaccumulator” describes a number of plants that belong to distantly related
families, but share the ability to grow on metalliferous soils and to accumulate extraordinarily …

Background, aim, and scope Trace elements (heavy metals and metalloids) are important
environmental pollutants, and many of them are toxic even at very low concentrations …

Hyperaccumulator plants are ideal models for investigating the regulatory mechanisms of
plant metal homeostasis and environmental adaptation due to their notable traits of metal …

Most of the heavy metals (HMs), and metals/metalloids are released into the nature either by
natural phenomenon or anthropogenic activities. Being sessile organisms, plants are …

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

Plants are able to extract metal (loid) contaminants from the soil or water through their roots
and translocate them to harvestable aerial shoots. Of late, this plant potential has been used …
