Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

The Alpine Germination Syndrome Differs Between Temperate and Mediterranean Habitats
We studied four germination cues across 56 species from Mediterranean and temperate alpine habitats to investigate if germination responses differ in a climatically heterogeneous region. Differences between habitats were only observed in germination responses to cold stratification, although germination requirements were highly species‐specific ...
