Do Arabidopsis halleri from nonmetallicolous populations accumulate zinc and cadmium more effectively than those from metallicolous populations?
Open accessAbstract
• 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.

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.
