Abstract

• The ability of metallicolous and nonmetallicolous populations of Arabidopsis halleri to accumulate zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) is compared here in order to explore the extent and variability of this trait in wild A. halleri plants. • Aerial plant parts and the soil around the harvested plants were collected and analysed for metal concentrations or total and extractable metal concentrations, respectively, for 20 metallicolous and 13 nonmetallicolous populations. • Results show that metallicolous and nonmetallicolous populations have the same ability to accumulate Zn and Cd but that neither population type is able to accumulate Pb. Between populations within type, an homogenous accumulating response is observed for Zn, whereas the ability to accumulate Cd is variable. • Zn and Cd accumulation to very high concentrations is a constitutive property of the species. The Zn and Cd hyperaccumulator trait of A. halleri from contaminated sites was confirmed. Interestingly, nonmetallicolous plants are Zn and Cd hyperaccumulators. The possibility of using A. halleri in phytoremediation is discussed.

Zn and Cd are hyperaccumulated by almost all the subspecies and populations of Arabidopsis halleri found in soils of both contaminated and non-contaminated habitats.
“Zn and Cd are hyperaccumulated by almost all the subspecies and populations of Arabidopsis halleri found in the soils of both contaminated and non-contaminated habitats (Bert et al., 2002).”
From Plant hyperaccumulators: a state-of-the-art review on mechanism of heavy metal transport and sequestration (2025) · cites this paper as Bert et al., 2002
The section ‘Metal accumulation and hyperaccumulation in natural populations of A. halleri’ (page not available) reports hyperaccumulation in plants from both contaminated and uncontaminated soils, but contradicts ‘almost all’: only 24% of sampled plants exceeded the Zn threshold, and 10% of individuals from uncontaminated soils and 17% from contaminated soils exceeded the Cd threshold. It explicitly says Cd hyperaccumulation is not widespread in either population type. (LLM, conf=0.90)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

Zn is hyper-accumulated by A. halleri compared to facultative accumulation of Pb and Cd.
“Zn is hyper-accumulated by A. halleri compared to facultative accumulation of Pb and Cd (Bert et al., 2000; Küpper et al., 2000; Bert et al., 2002; Pauwels et al., 2006; Stein et al., 2017).”
From Plant hyperaccumulators: a state-of-the-art review on mechanism of heavy metal transport and sequestration (2025) · cites this paper as Bert et al., 2002
The “Metal accumulation and hyperaccumulation in natural populations” section describes Zn accumulation as broadly consistent across populations and Cd hyperaccumulation as variable. But it explicitly says A. halleri did not behave as a Pb accumulator, contrary to the claim that Pb is facultatively accumulated. (LLM, conf=0.87)

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.
