Rapid method for detection and detoxification of heavy metal ions in water environments using phytochelation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Phytochelatins (PCs, (gammaGlu-Cys)n-Gly (n = 2-11)) are produced by higher plants, algae, and some fungi in response to heavy metal ion exposure. A rapid and convenient method for quantifying heavy metal ion concentrations in water environments was developed using a chemically synthesized PC as a

The chromium detoxification pathway in the multimetal accumulator Silene vulgaris.

Only registered users can translate articles

Phytomanagement could be a viable alternative in areas polluted with wastes from chromium-using industries. This study investigated the ability of Silene vulgaris to take up Cr(III) and Cr(VI) with special attention on the mechanism used by this species to tolerate high doses of Cr(VI). Plants were

The possible role of metallothioneins in copper tolerance of Silene cucubalus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Growth and copper-binding of a copper-tolerant and a copper-sensitive population of Silene cucubalus (L.) Wib. have been studied. The copper-tolerant plants showed a much lower uptake and a proportionally higher transport of copper from root to shoot. A copper-binding protein with an apparent Mr of

Copper tolerance in Silene cucubalus : Subcellular distribution of copper and its effects on chloroplasts and plastocyanin synthesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The uptake, translocation and subcellular distribution of copper as well as its effect on chloroplasts and plastocyanin synthesis were studied in a copper-sensitive and a copper-tolerant population of Silene cucubalus (L.) Wib. As a function of time, the copper concentration in roots of tolerant

Arsenate tolerance in Silene paradoxa does not rely on phytochelatin-dependent sequestration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Arsenate tolerance, As accumulation and As-induced phytochelatin accumulation were compared in populations of Silene paradoxa, one from a mine site enriched in As, Cu and Zn, the other from an uncontaminated site. The mine population was significantly more arsenate-tolerant. Arsenate uptake and

Photosynthesizing on metal excess: copper differently induced changes in various photosynthetic parameters in copper tolerant and sensitive Silene paradoxa L. populations.

Only registered users can translate articles

This work investigated Cu-induced changes in photosynthetic activity in contrasting populations of Silene paradoxa L. A metallicolous Cu-tolerant population and a non-metallicolous sensitive population were grown in hydroponics and exposed to different CuSO4 treatments for different times. Copper

Influence of the Ca/Mg ratio on Cu resistance in three Silene armeria ecotypes adapted to calcareous soil or to different, Ni- or Cu-enriched, serpentine sites.

Only registered users can translate articles

This hydroponic study addresses the influence of low (0.3) and high (4.0) Ca/Mg molar ratios on Cu resistance of Silene armeria ecotypes from different habitats: a calcareous soil (ecotype Cadriano), a Ni-rich serpentine site (ecotype Prinzera), and an acid Cu-mine spoil soil containing serpentinite

Evaluation of heavy metal-induced responses in Silene vulgaris ecotypes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Silene vulgaris is a pseudometallophyte that spontaneously occurs in various ecological niches. Therefore, three ecotypes of this species representing calamine (CAL), serpentine (SER), and non-metallicolous (NM) populations were investigated in this study. Owing to the presence of Pb or Ni ions in

Phytochelatins in Cadmium-Sensitive and Cadmium-Tolerant Silene vulgaris (Chain Length Distribution and Sulfide Incorporation).

Only registered users can translate articles

In response to a range of Cd concentrations, the root tips of Cd-tolerant plants of Silene vulgaris exhibit a lower rate of PC production accompanied by a lower rate of longer chain PC synthesis than those of Cd-sensitive plants. At the same Cd exposure level, stable PC-Cd complexes are more rapidly

Characterization of phytochelatin synthase produced by the primitive red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae.

Only registered users can translate articles

Phytochelatins (PCs), non-protein peptides with the general structure [(γ-Glu-Cys)n-Gly (n≥ 2)], are involved in the detoxification of toxic heavy metals mainly in higher plants. The synthesis of the peptides is mediated by phytochelatin synthase (PCS), which is activated by a range of heavy metals.
