At least one plant absorbs large amounts of a toxic mineral. You can identify proteins binding toxic minerals, in order to make more plants that can help remove toxic minerals. Transport processes allow arsenic hyperaccumulation https://asknature.org/strategy/transport-processes-allow-arsenic-hyperaccumulation/ Arsenic hyperaccumulation in the Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata) deters grasshopper (Schistocerca americana) herbivory. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17587384 Growth and arsenic uptake by Chinese brake fern inoculated with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0098847209000586 |
