Nickel hyperaccumulator plants contain at least 1,000 mg Ni/g dry mass. Their high-Ni tissues present a chemically unique resource for herbivorous insects. A prior survey of insects associated with the Ni hyperaccumulator Streptanthus polygaloides in California yielded a new species, Melanotrichus boydi Schwartz and Wall (Hemiptera: Miridae). Here we document the host preference of M. boydi. Su...

Cr (VI) is hazardous to humans and our environment. Leersia hexandra Swartz (L. hexandra) the first wet chromium hyperaccumulator found in China. This study constructed L. wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) system treat wastewater. It also determined effects of different dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations on power generation, pollutant removal, reduction. Cathode aeration promoted voltage o...

To improve the efficiency of Ni phytoextraction, metal hyperaccumulator N. goesingensis was subject to treatment with a combination uptake stimulating microorganism and commercially available, IAA- based biostimulating seaweed extract - Kelpak. Additionally, we compared plant growth promoting capabilities two biofertilizers. Treatment Kelpak alone had no significant effect on or accumulation. I...

The aim of this study was the development a new multi-analytical approach to evaluate chemical alterations and differences in element content relation arsenic (As) As hyperaccumulator fern P. vittata. vittata plants were grown on two natural As-rich soils with either high or moderate (750 58 mg/kg). Dried samples from plant tissues then analysed by means micro-energy dispersive X-ray fluorescen...

Phytoremediation is an effective and low-cost method for the remediation of soil contaminated by potentially toxic elements (metals metalloids) with hyperaccumulating plants. This study analyzed hyperaccumulator publications using data from Web Science Core Collection (WoSCC) (1992–2020). We explored research status on this topic creating a series scientific maps VOSviewer, HistCite Pro, CiteSp...

abstract enhancing phytoextraction with aminopolycarboxylic acids (apcas) associated with fast growing and metal tolerant plants species has been proposed for the clean-up of heavy metal contaminated soils. the objectives of this study were to assess the efficiency of edta and nta for desorbing pb from soil and to compare their effects for enhancing of pb extraction with land cress (barbara ver...
