Abstract:Manganese (Mn) is ubiquitous in the environment due to both geological and human activities. It is essential for plants, as for most other living organisms, but can also be toxic when it is present in excess. Some plant species, referred to as Mn hyperaccumulators, can accumulate over 10000μg/g of Mn in their shoot tissues without showing any phytotoxicity. Approximately 24 Mn hyperaccumulators are currently known worldwide. However, ample data is available the Mn hyperaccumulator species and biological signif… Show more
