Metal hyperaccumulation and hypertolerance: a model for plant evolutionary genomics.
Current opinion in plant biology - 1 Jun 2011
Hanikenne Marc, Nouet Cécile
Abstract excerpt
In the course of evolution, plants adapted to widely differing metal availabilities in soils and therefore represent an important source of natural variation of metal homeostasis networks. Research on plant metal homeostasis can thus provide insights into the functioning, regulation and adaptation of biological networks. Here, we describe major recent breakthroughs in the understanding of the genetic and...
