Thlaspi caerulescens is a well-studied metal-hyperaccumulator of zinc, cadmium and nickel, belonging to the Brassicaceae family. Moreover it is one of the few hyperaccumulators that occur on different metalliferous soil types, as well as on nonmetalliferous soils. We are interested in the development of systems to improve phytoremediation of metal contaminated soils through improved metal-accum...

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...

Noccaea brachypetala is a close relative of caerulescens , model plant species used in metal hyperaccumulation studies. In previous survey the Catalan Pyrenees, we found two occidental and oriental N. populations growing on non-metalliferous soils, with accumulated high concentrations Cd Zn. Our hypothesis was that microbiome companion roots may influence ability these plants to absorb metals. ...

This study was conducted for extensive and systemic investigation of anatomical, palynological seed morphological properties two endemic Noccaea species, naturally growing in Turkey. Independent sample T-test box plot were carried out using quantitative characters the studied species. The anatomical results showed that species had similar characteristics, though there significant differences ro...
