Mycorrhizae increase arsenic uptake by the hyperaccumulator Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata L.).
Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata L.) is a hyperaccumulator of arsenic (As) that grows naturally on soils in the southern United States. It is reasonable to expect that mycorrhizal symbiosis may be involved in As uptake by this fern. This is because arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have a well-documented role in increasing plant phosphorus (P) uptake, P and As have similar chemical properties...

متن کاملArsenic complexes in the arsenic hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata (Chinese brake fern).
Pteris vittata (Chinese brake fern), the first reported arsenic (As) hyperaccumulating plant, can be potentially applied in the phytoremediation As-contaminated sites. Understanding the mechanisms of As tolerance and detoxification in this plant is critical to further enhance its capability of As hyperaccumulation. In this study, an unknown As species, other than arsenite (AsIII) or arsenate (A...
متن کاملArsenic hyperaccumulation in the Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata) deters grasshopper (Schistocerca americana) herbivory.
Brake fern, Pteris vittata, not only tolerates arsenic but also hyperaccumulates it in the frond. The hypothesis that arsenic hyperaccumulation in this fern could function as a defense against insect herbivory was tested. Fronds from control and arsenic-treated ferns were presented to nymphs of the grasshopper Schistocerca americana. Feeding damage was recorded by visual observation and quantif...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated groundwater by the arsenic hyperaccumulating fern Pteris vittata L.
Arsenic concentrations in a much larger fraction of U.S. groundwater sources will exceed the maximum contaminant limit when the new 10 microg L(-1) EPA standard for drinking water takes effect in 2006. Thus, it is important to develop remediation technologies that can meet this new standard. Phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated groundwater is a relatively new idea. In this research, an arse...
