Designing yeast as plant-like hyperaccumulators for heavy metals
Nature Communications, 2019 Existing heavy metal bioremediation systems are mainly based on plants, which require long growing time in specific conditions. Here, the authors mimic the characteristics of plant hyperaccumulators to engineer more tractable baker’s yeast and achieve 10–

Transcriptome and Physiological Analysis Reveals the Mechanism of Abscisic Acid in Regulating Cadmium Uptake and Accumulation in the Hyperaccumulator Phytolacca acinosa Roxb. [PDF]
PlantsCadmium (Cd) is an extremely toxic heavy metal that can move from the soil to plants and enter the human body via the food chain, causing severe health issues for humans. Phytoremediation uses hyperaccumulators to extract heavy metals from polluted soil.

Effect of selenium hyperaccumulation on the root endophytic and rhizosphere microbiome of two Astragalus species. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Selenium hyperaccumulation has little impact on the overall microbiome diversity but rather affects interactions with key plant microbial mutualists, including rhizobia. Abstract Metal hyperaccumulation is prevalent throughout plant evolution, particularly in the legume family (Fabaceae), and acts as a presumed chemical defence against herbivory ...

Species-Specific and Pollution-Induced Changes in Gene Expression and Metabolome of Closely Related Noccaea Species Under Natural Conditions [PDF]
PlantsHyperaccumulators within the Noccaea genus possess many promising genetic and metabolic adaptations that could be potentially exploited to support phytoremediation efforts and/or crop improvement and biofortification.

Combined interactions of amino acids and organic acids in heavy metal binding in plants
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023 This research focused on the different approaches to the transport and internal chelation of metals with amino acids and organic acids in plants. Therefore, in the first phase, the plants studied were identified the characteristics of the bioaccumulation

Overview of technologies for Zn extraction from hyperaccumulating plants: Current state of research and future directions [PDF]
Journal of Mining and Metallurgy. Section A: Mining, 2022 Phytomining, although predominantly in its early stages on the broader scientific scope of investigation, has garnered interest in metals such as Ni, Au, or rare earth elements (REE).

Seasonal Sulfur Over-Accumulation and Coordinated Nutrient Cycling in Ononis Species With Contrasting Gypsum Affinity. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT 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.
