Abstract:
... Cobalt (Co) tolerance and accumulation were studied in three Haumaniastrum species: the obligate metallophyte (i.e. the strict endemic) Haumaniastrum robertii, its facultative metallophyte congener, H. katangense, and a species from nonmetalliferous soils, H. villosum. They were grown hydroponically and their growth during Co exposure was monitored.The two metallophytes did not grow in the absence ...

... BACKGROUND: Plants that accumulate metal and metalloid trace elements to extraordinarily high concentrations in their living biomass have inspired much research worldwide during the last decades. Hyperaccumulators have been recorded and experimentally confirmed for elements such as nickel, zinc, cadmium, manganese, arsenic and selenium. However, to date, hyperaccumulation of lead, copper, cobalt, ...
