Cadmium Accumulation by Plants of Brassicaceae Family and Its Connection with Their Primary and Secondary Metabolism

Abstract: The mustard family -Brassicaceae -is well known as family of plants, metallophytes, which are able to accumulate wide range of heavy metals and metalloids, especially zinc and cadmium, but also nickel, thallium, chromium and selenium. Ecological importance of this process consists partially in plants themselves to survive negative environmental conditions. There are two basic different strategies, how to survive these conditions -accumulation of heavy metals in plants tissues with different intensity in indivi… Show more

“…The Brassicaceae family includes many genera abundant in metallophytes, such as Thlaspi , Brassica, and Arabidopsis . They accumulate a wide range of heavy metals, especially Zn, Cd, nickel (Ni), thallium (Tl), chromium (Cr), and selenium (Se) [10]. The term hyperaccumulator is used for plants that accumulate 1000 mg per kg of dry matter of any above-ground tissue when grown in their natural habitat [11,12].…”

“…As of 2013, approximately 500 metal hyperaccumulator plant species were described [13,14], and the number is increasing. B. juncea exhibits some traits of a metal hyperaccumulator—this species can take up significant quantities of Pb, Cd [15,16], Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn [10,17], although its translocation ability is not as efficient as shown for other known hyperaccumulators. Metal hyperaccumulating plants should have extremely efficient defense mechanisms, enabling growth and development in a polluted environment.…”

“…The hyperaccumulation concept has been extended to a plant growing in its natural habitat in that those metal concentrations have been canned in the dry matter of any above ground tissue. This more detailed defi nition includes plants which accumulate metals in their aerial tissues other than leaves, that might be useful to phytoextraction as well, and disqualify any species that hyperaccumulate metals under synthetic conditions like massive metals addition to the soil or the nutrient solution [13].…”

“…Indeed, it is crucial to signal that as much as one-half of the world irrigated areas are affected by the high salinity level [7,8,10,11], the drought and also the excessive soil metal amount [6,7,12]. The last cited one pose signifi cant hazard to human, plant, animal and health, hence to the ecosystem [7,13,14]. We indicate in this case that soil contamination by toxic metal has often resulted from human activities, such as those related to application of sewage sludge to agricultural soils, industrial emissions, mining, leakage and/ or disposal of industrial wastes and also the pesticide use [12,15].…”
