    Metallophytes are plants that can tolerate and accumulate high concentrations of heavy metals in their tissues. They are typically found growing in metalliferous soils with high metal concentrations. While taxonomically diverse, only about 0.2% of angiosperm species are known to be hyperaccumulators that can accumulate very high levels of certain metals like copper, manganese, nickel, and zinc. Several metallophyte species have been identified in the Philippines growing in metal-rich soils, including Phyllanthus balgoolyii which is a nickel hyperaccumulator found in Palawan. Metallophytes have applications in phytoremediation and phytomining to extract or remove metals from contaminated

    Bio 115
    Metallophytes

    Tolerate and survive in high soil


    concentrations of metals and metalloids
    Metal phytotoxicity
    Found only in metalliferous soils
    vs pseudometallophytes
    Able to accumulate high levels of heavy
    metals in tissues (hyperaccumulator)
    Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn
    As, Co, Cd, Se
    Metallophytes

    Habitat
    Metalliferous soils
    Distinct phytogeographic areas
    Geographically restricted
    Taxonomically, widely distributed
    Hyperaccumulators represent <0.2% of known angiosperm species
    Metallophytes

    Hypotheses for metal-accumulation


    Elemental allelopathy to competitors
    Osmotic resistance to drought
    Defense against herbivores and pathogens
    Accidental
    Mechanism
    Differential gene activities (up- or down-regulating enzymes)
