Phytoremediation and hyperaccumulator plants (2005, background): “Different species of Alyssum Ni hyperaccumulators have been evaluated for phytoremediation of mine sites (McGrath and Zhao 2003), and Alyssum hybrids have been bred with suitable traits for phytomining Ni on serpentine soils in Oregon and Washington (Chaney et al.”
Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting? (2011, background): “weight, with a bioconcentration factor of 87 and a removal of 26% of the soil’s initial As ([29,139] and literature cited therein).”
Metallothionein 1 (CcMT1) of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan, L.) confers enhanced tolerance to copper and cadmium in Escherichia coli and Arabidopsis thaliana (2011, background): “Hyper-accumulation f metals by plants primarily involves three major mechanisms, iz., increased absorption by roots, efficient root-to-shoot or hoot-to-root retranslocation and hyper-tolerance through interal detoxification (McGrath and Zhao, 2003).”
Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils: Phytoremediation as a Potentially Promising Clean-Up Technology (2009, background): “…likely, the existence of tolerance mechanisms to cope with high concentrations of metals; and the shoot to soil concentration ratio must be higher than 1, indicating higher metal concentrations in the plant than in the soil, which emphasizes the degree of plant metal uptake (McGrath & Zhao, 2003).”
Contribution of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis to heavy metal phytoremediation (2006, background): “However, the soil cleanup is slow requiring many years to decrease soil contamination by half (McGrath and Zhao 2003).”
On the formation and extent of uptake of silver nanoparticles by live plants (2008, methodology): “Applying the definitions of both Brooks et al (1998) and McGrath and Zhao (2003) suggests that both MS and BJ are hyperaccumulators of silver.”
Urban environmental geochemistry of trace metals. (2006, background): “It has been an area of active research in the past 20 years, and the commercialization of this technology has been initiated (Cunningham and Ow, 1996; Boyajian and Carreira, 1997; Baker et al., 2000; McGrath and Zhao, 2003).”
The roles of membrane transporters in arsenic uptake, translocation and detoxification in plants (2020, background): “This strategy requires the use of plants that can hyperaccumulate As in the above-ground tissues (McGrath & Zhao, 2003).”
