Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting?
TL;DR: An overview of literature discussing the phytoremediation capacity of hyperaccumulators to clean up soils contaminated with heavy metals and the possibility of using these plants in phytomining is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphogenetic, ultrastructural and physiological damages suffered by submerged leaves of Elodea canadensis exposed to cadmium
Francesca Dalla Vecchia,Nicoletta La Rocca,Isabella Moro,Stefania De Faveri,Carlo Andreoli,Nicoletta Rascio +5 more
TL;DR: Both young and mature submerged leaves of Elodea canadensis treated for 1 month with 100 μM Cd added to the growth water medium showed a decreased photosynthetic activity, not only ascribable to lowered chlorophyll contents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for PSII donor-side damage and photoinhibition induced by cadmium treatment on rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Cristina Pagliano,Marco Raviolo,Francesca Dalla Vecchia,R. Gabbrielli,Cristina Gonnelli,Nicoletta Rascio,Roberto Barbato,Nicoletta La Rocca +7 more
TL;DR: The effects of cadmium (from 7.5 to 75 microM) on chloroplasts of rice were studied at the structural and biochemical level and light-induced photosystem II damage, in vitro, is promoted by Cd-treatment as deduced from the mobility shift of the D1 protein observed by immunoblot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulase and polygalacturonase involvement in the abscission of leaf and fruit explants of peach.
TL;DR: The differences in the enzyme patterns observed in fruit and leaf abscission zones and a differential enzyme induction suggest the feasibility to regulate fruit abscissions in peach with the aid of antisense RNA genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal accumulation and damage in rice (cv. Vialone nano) seedlings exposed to cadmium
Nicoletta Rascio,Francesca Dalla Vecchia,Nicoletta La Rocca,Roberto Barbato,Cristina Pagliano,Marco Raviolo,Cristina Gonnelli,R. Gabbrielli +7 more
TL;DR: The damage suffered by seedlings worsened with the increase in Cd concentration, but was already evident at the lowest concentration examined (50 μM), showing that the cv.
