The ability of hyperaccumulating plants to tolerate, translocate and accumulate very high
concentrations of toxic contaminants makes them suitable candidates for phytoremediation …

We have cloned, characterized and transformed the AtACR2 gene (arsenic reductase 2) of
Arabidopsis thaliana into the genome of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum, var Sumsun). Our …

The discovery of the arsenic hyperaccumulator, Pteris vittata (Chinese brake fern), has
contributed to the promotion of its application as a means of phytoremediation for arsenic …

Arsenic (As) is recognized as a toxic metalloid and a severe threat to biodiversity due to its
