Research, industry and conservation context for Arsenic hyperaccumulation and phytoremediation.
PvPht1;6 provides the first in planta evidence that an arbuscular-mycorrhiza-inducible phosphate transporter takes up arsenate at the Pteris vittata root–AMF interface — but whether that arsenic reaches the shoot depends on the host’s own translocation machinery.
Read the analysis →Bryophytes on the world's richest arsenic–thallium soils assay up to ~2.5% arsenic in their tissue, but crustal-element tracers, electron microscopy and an apolar-solvent wash show most of it is mineral dust stuck to the surface — a warning that hyperaccumulation screened on unwashed near-source tissue is inflated, with genuine uptake modest and strongest for thallium in a single moss.
