Phytoremediation—An Overview (2005, background): “While an exhaustive analysis of the literature on hyperac-cumulation/phytoextraction is beyond the scope of this text, some common themes emerge from the excellent literature reviews available on the subject (for example, Lasat, 2002).”
Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils: A Review of Sources, Chemistry, Risks and Best Available Strategies for Remediation (2011, background): “Thus, a hyperaccumulator plant will concentrate more than 10 mg kg − 1 Hg, 100 mg kg − 1 Cd, 1000 mg kg − 1 Co, Cr, Cu, and Pb; 10 000 mg kg − 1 Zn and Ni [128, 129].”
Remediation of metalliferous soils through the heavy metal resistant plant growth promoting bacteria: Paradigms and prospects (2014, background): “Bacterial traits such as, the releasing of chelating substances, acidification of the microenvironment and influencing changes in redox potential affect heavy metals bioavailability in soils (Lasat, 2002).”
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria enhance the growth and Cd uptake of Sedum plumbizincicola in a Cd-contaminated soil (2015, background): “…Victoria 3086, Australia A. E. Franks Department of Microbiology, La Trobe University, Melbourne Campus, Bundoora, Victoria 3086, Australia exchange, or electrochemical processes are costly, inefficient, and often have a negative impact on soil biological system (Lasat 2002; Wu et al. 2012).”
Trace metal behaviour in estuarine and riverine floodplain soils and sediments: a review. (2009, neutral): “…five common plant species of floodplain ecosystems near the Elbe River (Germany) were clearly below maximum values reported for hyperaccumulators (Lasat, 2002), whereas the concentrations of Cu and Pb were also within the range of background levels for plants growing in uncontaminated natural…”
Mechanisms of Plant Resistance to Metal and Metalloid Ions and Potential Biotechnological Applications (2005, background): “investigated by short term root elongation tests in the presence and absence of the toxicant (Macnair, 1993). From this simple phenotypic test it can be established if the plant is more resistant than the wild-type population, or less commonly *E-mail: a.meharg@abdn.ac.uk Plant and Soil (2005) 274:1”
Responses of two poplar species (Populus alba and Populus x canadensis) to high copper concentrations (2008, background): “also in trees (Lasat, 2002; Maegher, 2000; Pulford and Watson, 2003).”
Phytoextraction of heavy metals by two Salicaceae clones in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi during the second year of a field trial (2010, background): “Pb is a relatively immobile metal and is generally poorly accumulated by plants ( Lasat 2002 ), and consequently, Pb is generally preferentially accumulated in roots of willows and poplars (Fischerova et al. 2006; French et al. 2006).”
The Genetic Basis of Metal Hyperaccumulation in Plants (2002, methodology): “Among the ways plants can contribute to remediation of pollution, the technique specifically termed phytoextraction (Kumar et al., 1995; Salt et al., 1998; Salt and Baker, 2001; Lasat, 2002; McGrath et al., 2002) depends on the extent to which plants take up metals from soils and concentrate them in”
