Exploring the importance of sulphate transporters and ATP sulphurylases for selenium hyperaccumulation – A comparison of Stanleya pinnata and Brassica juncea (Brassicaceae)

Exploring the importance of sulphate transporters and ATP sulphurylases for selenium hyperaccumulation – A comparison of Stanleya pinnata and Brassica juncea (Brassicaceae)

Selenium (Se) hyperaccumulation, the capacity of some species to concentrate Se to levels upwards of 0.1% of dry weight, is an intriguing phenomenon that is only partially understood. Questions that remain to be answered are: do hyperaccumulators have one or more Se-specific transporters? How are t...
