Scientific interest :
Mechanisms of plant adaptation under heavy metal stress (accumulation of metal chelating ligands; oxidative stress; localization of metals at tissue, cellular and subcellular levels). Morphological, physiological and genetic differences between plant populations from metal-contaminated and non-contaminated sites. Phytoremediation.
