• Uptake of lead and zinc by wild plants growing on contaminated soils (2006, background): “A small number of plants endemic to metalliferous oils are capable of accumulating potentially phytotoxic lements to concentrations more than 100 times those ound in non-accumulators (Chaney et al., 1997; Salt t al., 1998; Brooks, 1998; Raskin and Ensley, 2000).”
• Bioremediation of Arsenic and Lead by Plants and Microbes from Contaminated Soil (2013, background): “Phytoremediation is the use of green plants to clean-up hazardous waste from the contaminated sites [14].”
• Phytoremediation of Metals Using Transgenic Plants (2002, background): “Metal-modifying enzymes may be involved in assimilation of metals into organic molecules (e.g. selenate is metabolized to dimethylselenide; de Souza et al., 2000), or in changing the oxidation state of metals (e.g. toxic Cr(VI) is reduced to nontoxic Cr(III), Lytle et al., 1998, and in dicots Fe…”
• The effect of heavy metals on seed germination and plant growth on alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa). (2009, background): “Many researchers have observed that some plants species are endemic to metalliferous soils and can tolerate greater than usual amounts of heavy metals or other toxic compounds (Banuelos et al., 1997; Blaylock and Huang, 2000; Raskin and Ensley, 2000).”
• Molecular mechanisms of metal hyperaccumulation in plants. (2009, background): “In T. caerulescens, all populations hyperaccumulate Table 1 Hyperaccumulators of trace metals (adapted from Reeves & Baker, 2000; A. Baker pers. comm.; except for cadmium: Bert et al., 2002; Yang et al., 2004; Vogel-Mikuš et al., 2005)”
• Nickel defends the South African hyperaccumulator Senecio coronatus (Asteraceae) against Helix aspersa (Mollusca: Pulmonidae) (2002, background): “This is especially true for Ni hyperaccumulator taxa that have been reported to have maximum leaf Ni concentrations 10,000 g Ni g−1 (Reeves & Baker 2000).”
• Bioremediation: Developments, Current Practices and Perspectives (2010, background): “Metal contamination in India is mainly due to industrial activities and it is estimated that about $3 billion are needed to remediate the metal contaminated sites alone in USA [3].”
