Intraspecific variation of metal preference patterns for hyperaccumulation in Thlaspi caerulescens: evidence from binary metal exposures (2008, background): “P. Bleeker Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands shoot transport and tolerance (Meerts and Van Isacker 1997; Escarré et al. 2000; Schat et al. 2000; Lombi et al. 2000; Pollard et al. 2002; Assunção et al. 2003).”
Plant traits and taxonomy drive host associations in tropical phyllosphere fungal communities1 (2014, background): “Aluminum in plant tissues is thought to be a defense against herbivores and pathogens (Pollard et al. 2002) and is toxic to many fungi (Piña and Cervantes 1996).”
Functions and toxicity of nickel in plants: recent advances and future prospects. (2009, background): “[110] A.”
Metal hyperaccumulation in plants: mechanisms of defence against insect herbivores (2005, background): “Work on these so-called metal-hyperaccumulating plants has been spurred by their potential use in cleaning up contaminated soils (phytoremediation), but there are many unresolved questions surrounding the ecology and evolution of this unusual trait (Baker & Brooks 1989; Baker et al . 2000; Reeves & ”
Heavy metals in plants: phytoremediation: plants used to remediate heavy metal pollution. (2010, background): “During various researches main focus is to understand the physiological mechanisms of metal absorption, transportation and assimilation, but little is know regarding the genetic basis of hyperaccumulation (Pollard et al., 2002).”
The defense hypothesis of elemental hyperaccumulation: status, challenges and new directions (2007, background): “The boundaries between accumulator and hyperaccumulator categories are somewhat arbitrary (Macnair 2003; Pollard et al. 2002; Reeves and Baker 2000) but are useful because they subdivide the wide range of element concentrations found in plants.”
Cadmium-induced oxidative damage and antioxidant responses in Brassica juncea plants (2009, background): “They may be involved in phytoremediation directly as phytoremediation crops, or indirectly as sources of genes for improvement of other phytoremediation crops (Pollard et al. 2002).”
High‐nickel insects and nickel hyperaccumulator plants: A review (2009, methodology): “The distribution of the resulting data was then examined for discontinuities and hyperaccumulation defined by apparent “breaks” in the data distribution (Brooks, 1987; Pollard et al., 2002).”
A global database for plants that hyperaccumulate metal and metalloid trace elements. (2018, background): “Hyperaccumulator plants often appear to be restricted in their distribution to metalliferous soils, from which they always exhibit hyperaccumulation of some element; these are described as ‘obligate’ hyperaccumulators (Pollard et al., 2002).”
Natural variation in cadmium tolerance and its relationship to metal hyperaccumulation for seven populations of Thlaspi caerulescens from western Europe (2003, methodology): “…– which is thought to be consequence of severe metal toxicity causing membrane damage and uncontrolled release of metals into the xylem (Baker 1981; Pollard et al. 2002) – we assayed tissue metal accumulation in plants exposed to two concentrations of Cd (3 or 30 mM) for two different treatment…”
