Some plants hyperaccumulate metals or metalloids to levels several orders of magnitude
higher than other species. This intriguing phenomenon has received considerable attention …

Hyperaccumulators are plants that can extract heavy metal ions from the soil and translocate
those ions to the shoots, where they are sequestered and detoxified. Hyperaccumulation …

Metal hyperaccumulating plants contain very high metal contents. Because of the general
toxicity of metals, chemically-mediated biotic interactions involving hyperaccumulating …

Phytomining can be limited by low biomass productivity by plants or limited availability of soil
metals. Ongoing research attempts to overcome these potential constraints and to make …

Hyperaccumulators concentrate trace metals and heavy metals in their shoots when grown
in metal-contaminated soils and these trace metal-loaded plants may be removed by …

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 …

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 …

Hyperaccumulator plants can take up large amounts of metals in their shoots without
showing significant signs of toxicity. This makes hyperaccumulators ideal candidates for …

Hyperaccumulators are unusual plants that accumulate particular metals or metalloids in
their living tissues to levels that may be hundreds or thousands of times greater than is …

Transition metals such as iron, copper, zinc, or molybdenum are essential nutrients for
plants. These elements are involved in almost every biological process, including …
