This project investigates how certain plants, specifically Arabidopsis halleri, accumulate high levels of toxic metals like cadmium. It explores the genetic and environmental factors influencing this hyperaccumulation, aiming to improve phytoremediation techniques for contaminated soils.
Metal hyperaccumulator plants accumulate extraordinarily high concentrations of toxic metals in their leaves.
The large within-population variation in the extent of hyperaccumulation of some metals in the field remains unexplained.
Is this an acclimation, and to which environmental factor?
Or is it a result of evolutionary adaptation, and what selects for it?
To answer these questions, the applicant will employ results from a large field survey of Arabidopsis halleri, a model species capable of…
