This project investigates how certain plants, like Noccaea caerulescens, can accumulate high levels of metals while losing typical defense mechanisms. It aims to understand the evolutionary and ecological processes behind this unique trait, which is significant for bioremediation and plant resilience against pathogens.
Metal hyperaccumulating plants are able to accumulate exceptionally high concentrations of metals, such as Zinc, Nickel, and Cadmium, in their shoots to levels that would be toxic to most other plant species.
The trait of metal hyperaccumulation has evolved independently multiple times in the plant kingdom.
Since this trait is of high importance to bioremediation and biofortification strategies, intensive research efforts aim to decipher the underlying molecular processes.
However, although our…
