Nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulation is a rare form of physiological specialization shared by a small number of angiosperms growing on ultramafic soils. Molecular phylogenetic analyses by Cecchi et al. reveal that Ni-hyperaccumulation has a double origin in Alysseae. Genetic continuity and strong phenotypic plasticity in the A. murale complex call for a reduction of the number of Ni hyperaccumulator taxa formally recognized.
Are patterns of tissue-level nickel distribution different in phylogenetically distant hyperaccumulator species on the island of Borneo?
Say hello to Rinorea niccolifera, described in the open-access journal PhytoKeys. The leaves of the plant are special. Like a few other plants around the world, R. niccolifera is a ‘hypernickelophore’. In...
If plants did rock out at concerts then the one above would definitely be Bornmuellera to be wild. Some plants like to be in sunlight in well-drained soils. Others need moist potting and the shade. Bornmuellera...
