Strategy for Mitigating Antibiotic Resistance by Biochar and Hyperaccumulators in Cadmium and Oxytetracycline Co-contaminated Soil.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2021
The global prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is of increasing concern as a serious threat to ecological security and human health. Irrigation with sewage and farmland application of manure or biosolids in agricultural practices introduce ...

Hyperaccumulators of mercury in the industrial area of a PVC factory in Vlora (Albania) [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014
Contamination by heavy metals is one of the major threats to soil and water as well as human health. Much attention is being paid to metal-accumulating plants that may be used for the phytoremediation of contaminated soils.

Root and Shoot Response to Nickel in Hyperaccumulator and Non-Hyperaccumulator Species

Plants, 2021
The soil–root interface is the micro-ecosystem where roots uptake metals. However, less than 10% of hyperaccumulators’ rhizosphere has been examined.

Increase in Phytoextraction Potential by Genome Editing and Transformation: A Review

Plants, 2021
Soil metal contamination associated with productive activities is a global issue. Metals are not biodegradable and tend to accumulate in soils, posing potential risks to surrounding ecosystems and human health.

Compartmentation and complexation of metals in hyperaccumulator plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Hyperaccumulators are being intensely investigated. They are not only interesting in scientific context due to their strange behaviour in terms of dealing with high concentrations of metals, but also because of their use in phytoremediation and ...

Towards an Understanding of the Molecular Basis of Nickel Hyperaccumulation in Plants

Plants, 2019
Metal hyperaccumulation is a rare and fascinating phenomenon, whereby plants actively accumulate high concentrations of metal ions in their above-ground tissues.

Phytoextraction potential of arsenic and cadmium and response of rhizosphere microbial community by intercropping with two types of hyperaccumulators

Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021
Intercropping with hyperaccumulators/accumulators is a promising alternative to enhance phytoextraction of heavy metal(loid)s in contaminated soil.

Morais Ultramafic Complex: A Survey towards Nickel Phytomining

Resources, 2019
Ultramafic areas are critical for nickel (Ni) phytomining due to the high concentration of this element in their soils and the number of hyperaccumulators they harbor.

Control of Zn uptake in Arabidopsis halleri: a balance between Zn and Fe

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Zinc (Zn) is an essential plant micronutrient but is toxic in excess. To cope with excess Zn, plant species possess a strict metal homeostasis mechanism.
