TLDR
In this paper, three clones of Agrostis gigantea were evaluated for their tolerance to cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc, and they showed tolerance to copper, cobalt and nickel only.Abstract:
SUMMARY Three clones of Agrostis gigantea were evaluated for their tolerance to cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc. Of the clones originating from a mine waste site in Sudbury, Ontario, one showed tolerance to copper, cobalt, and nickel, the other only to nickel. Neither of these clones showed tolerance to zinc. A clone from a seed supply house lacked tolerance to any of the metals tested. Copper was most toxic to A. gigantea, followed by nickel, cobalt and zinc.read more

A comparison of the toxicity of heavy metals, using root elongation of rye grass, lolium perenne
Ming H Wong,A. D. Bradshaw +1 more
TL;DR: The order of toxicity of different metals affecting root growth of seedlings of rye grass (Lolium perenne S24) was: copper > nickel > manganese > lead > cadmium > zinc > aluminium > mercury > chromium > iron as discussed by the authors.

Effects of cobalt on plants
TL;DR: The cytotoxic and phytotoxic activities of cobalt and its compounds depend on the physico-chemical properties of these complexes, including their electronic structure, ion parameters (charge-size relations) and coordination.

Physiological responses of plants to heavy metals and the quantification of tolerance and toxicity
Alan J. M. Baker,P.L. Walker +1 more
TL;DR: Techniques available for assessing the tolerance of plants to heavy metal toxins are reviewed and the implications of multiple tolerance, co-tolerance, constitutional tolerance, inducible tolerance and possible stimulatory effects of metals on plant responses are discussed.

Heavy metal tolerance in plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate the literature on those plants and micro-organisms which can combat excessive quantities of heavy metal ions, which are poisonous and can cause death of most living organisms.
