Mechanism of Zinc absorption in plants: uptake, transport, translocation and accumulation
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Unfortunately, deficiency of Zn
in humans has increased on a global scale. The main reason of this micronutrient deficiency …

Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting?
N Rascio, F Navari-Izzo - Plant science, 2011 - Elsevier
The term “hyperaccumulator” describes a number of plants that belong to distantly related
families, but share the ability to grow on metalliferous soils and to accumulate extraordinarily …

Hormesis in plants under Cd exposure: from toxic to beneficial element?
Tolerance level to cadmium (Cd) toxicity is generally associated with reductions of the
internal Cd accumulation in living organisms. In plants, Cd exposure frequently triggers …
