Cadmium (Cd) pollution around the world is a serious issue demanding acceptable solutions, one of which is phytoremediation that is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. Removal of Cd from contaminated water using plants with high growth rates and sufficient Cd accumulation abilities could be an appropriate choice. Here, we investigated a potential Cd accumulator, Wolffia, a rootless duckweed with high growth rate. Cd uptake, accumulation, tolerance, and phytofiltration ability by Wolffia…

Morphophysiological Responses, Heavy Metal Accumulation and Phytoremoval Ability in Four Willow Clones Exposed to Cadmium Under Hydroponics
TLDR
The suitability of the willow clones as a biological tool for the reclamation of Cd-contaminated water is discussed, taking into account the notable Cd phytoremoval ability shown by the S. alba clone SS5.
Tolerance and potential for bioaccumulation of Alternanthera tenella Colla to cadmium under in vitro conditions
TLDR
In vitro cultivated Alternanthera tenella can accumulate Cd and tolerate up to 100 μM Cd by modifying its anatomy and physiology in order to cope with Cd stress.

The duckweed Wolffia globosa as an indicator of heavy metal pollution: Sensitivity to Cr and Cd
TLDR
The results show that the plants are sensitive to the variations in metal concentration and are capable of high metal enrichment at very low ambient concentration of the metals.
Cadmium tolerance and hyperaccumulation in a new Zn-hyperaccumulating plant species (Sedum alfredii Hance)
TLDR
The results indicate that S. alfredii has an extraordinary ability to tolerate andhyperaccumulate Cd and this is the first report of the new Cd hyperaccumulator S.–alfred ii Hance, which provides an important plant material for understanding the mechanisms of Cd/Zn co- Hyperaccumulation and for phytoremediation of the heavy metal contaminated soils.
Arsenic uptake and speciation in the rootless duckweed Wolffia globosa.
TLDR
Arsenite was the predominant As species in both arsenate- and arsenite-exposed duckweed and Wolffia globosa was more resistant to external arsenate than arsenite, but showed a similar degree of tolerance internally.

TLDR
S. nigrum can be classified as a Cd-hyperaccumulator, which provides a patentable new plant species for phytoremediation of CD-con- taminated soils.
Phytoaccumulation and Phytotoxicity of Cadmium and Chromium in Duckweed Wolffia globosa
TLDR
The phytoaccumulation and phytotoxicity of heavy metals, cadmiun (Cd), and chromium (Cr) on a common duckweed, Wolffia globosa, were studied and indicated that there were significant decreases in the biomass productivity and total chlorophyll content when the exposure time and metal concentration were increased.
