Uptake of Cadmium by Lemna minor, a (hyper?-) accumulator plant involved in phytoremediation applications

Metal pollution in waters and soils is a major environmental and human health problem. Cadmium (Cd2+) is a heavy metal displaying toxic effects in plants. In this work we studied the potentiality of Lemna minor, a monocotyledonous aquatic macrophyte, to phytoremediate cadmium-polluted waters. The pl...
