Formation of Metallic Copper Nanoparticles at the Soil−Root Interface
Open accessAbstract
Copper is an essential element in the cellular electron-transport chain, but as a free ion it can catalyze production of damaging radicals. Thus, all life forms attempt to prevent copper toxicity. Plants diminish excess copper in two structural regions: rare hyperaccumulators bind cationic copper to organic ligands in subaerial tissues, whereas widespread metal-tolerant plants segregate copper dominantly in roots by mechanisms thought to be analogous. Here we show using synchrotron microanalyses that common wetlands plants Phragmites australis and Iris pseudoacorus can transform copper into metallic nanoparticles in and near roots with evidence of assistance by endomycorrhizal fungi when grown in contaminated soil in the natural environment. Biomolecular responses to oxidative stress, similar to reactions used to abiotically synthesize Cu0 nanostructures of controlled size and shape, likely cause the transformation. This newly identified mode of copper biomineralization by plant roots under copper stress may be common in oxygenated environments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
