The Effect of Cadmium on Plants in Terms of the Response of Gene Expression Level and Activity

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that can cause damage to living organisms at different levels. Even at low concentrations, Cd can be toxic to plants, causing harm at multiple levels.

Rare earth elements in plants

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2019
Since 1960, the positive effects of rare earth elements (REE) on crop physiology have been observed, and support for photosynthesis, biomass accumulation, secondary metabolites, or enzymes has been reported in 40% of studies.

Inability to accumulate Ni in a genus of hyperaccumulators: the paradox of Odontarrhena sibirica (Brassicaceae)

open access: yesPlanta, 2020
Odontarrhena is a highly diverse genus of Ni-hyperaccumulators. Here, we demonstrate substantial inability to accumulate Ni in the facultative serpentinophyte O.

Effects of selenium hyperaccumulators on soil selenium distribution and vegetation properties.

open access: yesAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany, 2020
PREMISE The ecological implications of hyperaccumulation have been investigated at the organismal level, but are poorly understood at the plant community level. Questions addressed here were: Does the presence of selenium (Se) hyperaccumulators affect Se

Plant Selenium Hyperaccumulation Affects Rhizosphere: Enhanced Species Richness and Altered Species Composition

open access: yesPhytobiomes Journal, 2018
Little is known about the microbiomes associated with plants with unusual properties, including plants that hyperaccumulate toxic elements such as selenium (Se).

Plants accumulating heavy metals in the Sudety Mts

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
The Sudeten flora consists of some plants we can recognize as heavy metal accumulators. Between others there are: Thlaspi caerulescens, Arabidopsis halleri, Armeria maritima ssp. halleri s.l.

Herbivory enhances cadmium foraging in the invasive hyperaccumulating plant Phytolacca americana

open access: yesFunctional 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 ...

Clean-up of bodies of water contaminated by heavy metals using dead and live hyperaccumulators (flowering plants and algae)

open access: yesEQA
The pervasive issue of water contamination by heavy metals poses significant environmental and public health challenges, requiring innovative and effective remediation strategies. This study aims to compare the use of dead and live hyperaccumulators that

Mosses accumulate heavy metals from the substrata of coal ash [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2005
Plants that are able to accumulate and tolerate extraordinarily high concentrations of heavy metals (hyperaccumulators) can be used for phytoremediation (removal of contaminants from soils) or phytomining (growing a crop of plants to harvest the metals).

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

open access: yesRemediation 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 ...
