brassica chinensis l. is a popular vegetable, especially in asian dishes. for plant growing withinorganic fertilizer, cadmium (cd) has been one of the highest metal and health-risk factors included. thisresearch aimed to assess the bioaccumulation of cd by the plant and its genetic changes. the plant was grownin the soil supplemented by cd at 0, 15, 30, 60 and 120 mg/kg. the accumulations in th...

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) can improve plant stress tolerance by promoting growth and affecting element accumulation. Due to its ability accumulate high Cd, Zn, Ni concentrations in shoots, Noccaea caerulescens is considered a promising candidate for phytoextraction the field. However, of DSEs trace (TE) with N. has not yet been studied. The aim this study was therefore determine five DSE s...

Copper smelting and refinery factories are the final stages of a pyrometallurgical processing chain, and they cause many environmental challenges around the world. One of the most common environmental problems of these factories is toxic emissions. These toxic gases have harmful effects on the vegetation, animal species, soils, and water resources around the factories. Phytoremediation can play...

Agromining aims to improve the fertility of naturally metal-rich soils by extracting metals, such as nickel (Ni), using hyperaccumulator plants. Ultramafic are characterized low levels, limiting yields. Here, we characterize potential benefits for phytoextraction efficiency co-cropping a Ni-hyperaccumulator (Odontarrhena chalcidica) and legume (Vicia sativa), following two-year field experiment...

Context Hyperaccumulator plants are of considerable interest for their extreme physiology. Stackhousia tryonii is a nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulator plant endemic to ultramafic outcrops in Queensland (Australia) capable attaining up 41 300 μg g−1 foliar Ni. Aims This study sought elucidate the distribution Ni S. by using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence micro-computed tomography (XFM-CT), complemente...

The soils developed under High Altitude Rocky Complexes in Brazil are generally of very low chemical fertility, with low base saturation and high exchangeable aluminium concentration. This stressful condition imposes evolutionary pressures that lead to ecological success of plant species that are able to tolerate or accumulate high amounts of aluminium. Several analytical methods are currently ...

Plants use chemical defences to reduce damage from herbivores and the effectiveness of these defences can be altered by biotic and abiotic factors, such as herbivory and soil resource availability. Streptanthus polygaloides, a nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulator, possesses both Ni-based defences and organic defences (glucosinolates), but the extent to which these defences interact and respond to envir...

Hyperaccumulated Ni can defend plant tissues against herbivores and pathogens. The effectiveness of this defense, however, has not been tested with a viral pathogen. Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) accumulation was studied in two serpentine species of Streptanthus with different Ni uptake abilities. Plants of a Ni hyperaccumulator, milk-wort jewelflower (S. polygaloides Gray), and a non-hyperaccumul...
