Comparative metal accumulation potential of Potamogeton pectinatus L. and Potamogeton crispus L.: Role of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in tolerance and detoxification of metals
TL;DR: Results showed that P. crispus exhibited better tolerance to high concentration of Cu, Cr, P b and Zn and accumulated higher concentration of Pb and Cr as compared to P. pectinatus in its tissues, which could be a better phytoremediator species, which may be exploited for the removal of metals from wastewater.

The interaction of arsenic (As) and chromium (Cr) influences growth and antioxidant status in tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius)
TL;DR: The results suggest that the combined toxicity of low level As plus Cr in jute is lower than that of individual Cr or As, and more than 50 mg kg -1 had the synergistic toxic effect.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of Acacia mangium as a phytoremediator to absorb heavy metals from contaminated soils was evaluated using six different growth media (soil + different levels of cadmium).

Biodiversity variability and metal accumulation strategies in plants spontaneously inhibiting fly ash lagoon, India
TL;DR: It can be stated that plant-available extractant is not always suitable for understanding the availability of metal, but total metal concentration can provide a better insight especially for moderate or low metal-contaminated sites.

Effect of genotype, Cr(III) and Cr(VI) on plant growth and micronutrient status in Silene vulgaris (Moench)
A. E. Pradas-del-Real,P. García-Gonzalo,Remedios Alarcón,A. González-Rodríguez,M.C. Lobo,Araceli Pérez-Sanz +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first report on the relatively good performance of hermaphrodite and female S. vulgaris genotypes in Cr uptake and physiological traits, but further studies will be necessary to elucidate the mechanisms by which the gender may influence these variables.

Chromium occurrence in the environment and methods of its speciation.
J. Kotaś,Z. Stasicka +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that knowledge of interconversion processes between different Cr forms is necessary to understand its behaviour and role in the environment, in addition to enabling reliable Cr speciation analysis to be performed.

Phytoremediation of soil metals
TL;DR: Little molecular understanding of plant activities critical to phytoremediation has been achieved, but recent progress in characterizing Fe, Cd and Zn uptake by Arabidopsis and yeast mutants indicates strategies for developing transgenic improved phytOREmediation cultivars for commercial use.
