Thlaspi caerulescens is a heavy metal hyperaccumulator plant species that is able to accumulate extremely high levels of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in its shoots (30,000 microgram g(-1) Zn and 10,000 microgram g(-1) Cd), and has been the subject of intense research as a model plant to gain a better...
