Interplay between selenium hyperaccumulator plants and their microbiome
… (rhizosphere) and shoot (phyllosphere) or inside plants (endosphere). Many of these microbes benefit their host by promoting growth, helping acquire nutrients or by alleviating biotic or abiotic stress. In addition to its intellectual merit, better knowledge of plant-microbiome interactions is …

Characterization of the intraspecific variation within the nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulator species Senecio coronatus (Asteraceae): a preliminary analysis of genetic population structure and shoot proteome expression
Heavy metal (HM) accumulator plants possess the ability to actively hyperaccumulate and detoxify exceptionally high concentrations of metals in their aboveground tissues, without exhibiting any apparent signs of toxicity. Despite nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulator plants representing the largest …

The role of Iron Regulated 2 and Iron Regulated Transporter 1 in nickel hyperaccumulation traits in Senecio coronatus
Metal hyperaccumulating plants accumulate exceptionally high concentrations of metal ions in their above ground tissues and are defined as containing 1000 μg/g dry mass Co, Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn or Ni. This is remarkable because plants typically only require small amounts of these metals for survival, …

Adaptability, Biomass Yield, and Phytoremediation of Arundo donax L. on marginal lands: salt, dry and lead-contaminated soils
… harmful to the entire ecosystem (Alloway, 1995). Plants tolerant to heavy metals, may be used to enhance sites unsuitable for biomass production, restoring the ecosystem services and providing valuable feedstocks to biorefineries, in a phytoremediation process. Among the perennial species for …

Biochelators as an alternative to EDTA and other synthetic chelators for the phytoextraction of heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb) from soil
… In order to overcome these problems, the use of plants to extract metals from soil (Phytoextraction) has repeatedly been suggested as a novel clean-up technology. Phytoextraction using hyperaccumulator plants is usually limited by low biomass, whereas metal uptake by high biomass plants usually …

Use of stable isotopes to assess phytoremediation of soils contaminated with cadmium and zinc.
… matter). An alternative approach is the use of hyperaccumulator plants to remove the heavy metals. Phytoremediation, as this process is known, is an attractive method for remediation of contaminated land since it is relatively inexpensive and has the potential through the appropriate selection …
