Journal ArticleDOI
Endophytic bacteria from seeds of nicotiana tabacum can reduce cadmium phytotoxicity
Chiara Mastretta,Safiyh Taghavi,Daniel van der Lelie,Alessio Mengoni,F. Galardi,Christina Gonnelli,Tanja Barac,Jana Boulet,Nele Weyens,Jaco Vangronsveld +9 more
TL;DR: The beneficial effects of seed endophytes on metal toxicity and accumulation are demonstrated, and practical applications using inoculated seeds as a vector for plant beneficial bacteria are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of endophytic bacteria from the nickel hyperaccumulator plant Alyssum bertolonii.
Rita Barzanti,Francesca Ozino,Marco Bazzicalupo,R. Gabbrielli,F. Galardi,Cristina Gonnelli,Alessio Mengoni +6 more
TL;DR: It is pointed out that, despite the high concentration of heavy metals present in its tissues, A. bertolonii harbors an endophytic bacterial flora showing a high genetic diversity as well as a high level of resistance to heavy metals that could potentially help plant growth and Ni hyperaccumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel and copper tolerance and toxicity in three Tuscan populations of Silene paradoxa
TL;DR: In this article, three Tuscan ecotypes of Silene paradoxa L. were studied to evaluate the occurrence of multiple tolerance or co-tolerance mechanisms and to underline some tolerance strategies in plants naturally adapted to toxic concentrations of heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and heavy metal tolerance in populations of Silene paradoxa L. (Caryophyllaceae): a random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis.
TL;DR: Eight populations of Silene paradoxa L. (Caryophyllaceae) growing in copper mine deposits, in serpentine outcrops or in noncontaminated soil in central Italy, were analysed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to investigate the pattern of genetic variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of heavy metal‐tolerant populations in Silene paradoxa L. (Caryophyllaceae): a chloroplast microsatellite analysis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cpSSR markers could be a useful complementary tool to isoenzymes or random amplified polymorphic DNA markers for elucidating the pattern of genetic differentiation in heavy metal‐tolerant populations.
