Herbivory enhances cadmium foraging in the invasive hyperaccumulating plant Phytolacca americana

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological invasions and heavy metal pollution are two pervasive environmental challenges threatening global ecosystems. While the elemental defence hypothesis posits that certain plants accumulate heavy metals to deter herbivores, it remains unclear whether invasive ...

Uptake and distribution of nickel and other metals in the hyperaccumulator Berkheya coddii [PDF]

, 2003
Berkheya coddii is a fast-growing, high biomass nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulator plant that has recently attracted attention for its possible use in the phytoextraction of Ni. The mechanisms of Ni accumulation, however, are not well understood in this plant.

Hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum L. Intercropping Reduced Rice Cadmium Uptake under a High-Bed and Low-Ditch Planting System

Plants, 2023
Anthropogenic activities have raised cadmium (Cd) concentrations in agricultural soil, emerging as a primary catalyst for the decline in crop yield. Intercropping of two or several plants is one technique among many Cd phytoremediation techniques that ...

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Plant Cadmium Resistance 2 (SaPCR2) Facilitates Cadmium Efflux in the Roots of Hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Hyperaccumulators are the preferred materials for phytoremediation. Sedum alfredii Hance is a cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator plant in China, although its detoxification mechanism remains unresolved.

Media‐Dependent Growth, Stress Responses, and Metal Accumulation Patterns in Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai Exposed to As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn: Individual and Combination Effects (Synergistic, Antagonistic, and Additive)

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 11, Page 1223-1248, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examined metal accumulation and biochemical responses of Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai exposed to water medium (WM) and nutrient medium (NM) under single and combined (co‐exposure) treatments with five metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) at 10% environmentally relevant concentrations.

Seasonal Sulfur Over‐Accumulation and Coordinated Nutrient Cycling in Ononis Species With Contrasting Gypsum Affinity

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Gypsum soils present extreme nutrient imbalances, with scarcity of nutrients like N, P, and K and excess of Ca and S, seriously limiting plant growth. Plant species differing in their affinity for gypsum soils display contrasting nutritional strategies.

Variation in defence strategies in the metal hyperaccumulator plant Noccaea caerulescens is indicative of synergies and trade-offs between forms of defence [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
In the metal hyperaccumulator plant Noccaea caerulescens, zinc may provide a defence against pathogens. However, zinc accumulation is a variable trait in this species. We hypothesize that this variability affects the outcome of interactions between metal

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Compartmentation and complexation of metals in hyperaccumulator plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Hyperaccumulators are being intensely investigated. They are not only interesting in scientific context due to their "strange" behavior in terms of dealing with high concentrations of metals, but also because of their use in phytoremediation and phytomining, for which understanding the mechanisms of hyperaccumulation is crucial.
