Free histidine as a metal chelator in plants that accumulate nickel
- Abstract:
-
A number of terrestrial plants accumulate large quantities of metals such as zinc, manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper in their shoots. The largest group of these so called 'metal hyperaccumulators' is found in the genus Alyssum, in which nickel concentrations can reach 3% of leaf dry biomass. Apart from their intrinsic interest, plants exhibiting this trait could be of value in the decontamination of metal polluted soils. However, the biochemical basis of the capacity for metal accumulation...
