Notes

  • In the genus Alyssum, free histamin (His) is an important Ni binding ligand that increases in the xylem proportionately to root Ni uptake. There is a close correlation between Ni tolerance, root His concentration, and ATP-PRT transcript abundance. Thus ATP-PRT expression may play a major role in regulating the pool of free His and contributes to the exceptional Ni tolerance of hyperaccumulator Alyssum species. But this is not the complete hyperaccumulator phenotype because His-(GM-)overproducing lines do not exhibit increased Ni concentrations in either xylem sap or shoot tissue.[22]
  • Alpine pennycress or «Alpine Pennygrass» is also found as «Alpine Pennycrest» in (some books).

Biotropica, Volume 31 Page 403 - September 1999. Ni contents in leaves of P. douarrei vary considerably due to leaf age. Older leaves contain twice as much Ni as younger leaves, and leaf Ni content does not correlate significantly with neither plant size nor soil Ni content. Variations in accumulation differ greatly among branches within individuals as well as between individuals, but this intraplant variability was not strongly correlated with the mean leaf Ni content of an individual shrub. Epiphyll cover is increased on the upper surface of older leaves. The dominant leafy liverwort epiphyll contains 400ppm (relatively high), suggesting that epiphylls of Ni hyperaccumulators obtain some Ni from host leaves
