Our research group has recently discovered the 1st
known arsenic hyperaccumulator, commonly known as Chinese
Brake fern (p. vittata). The discovery was published in
Nature in 2001, resulting in
unprecedented
publicity for our research program and generating much interest in
phytoremediation of arsenic contaminated sites. |
