The present invention provides methods by which hyperaccumulation of metals in plant shoots is induced by exposure to inducing agents. In preferred embodiments, manipulations that increase availability of metals to the plant are employed prior to application of the inducing agent. Effective inducing agents include conditions of low pH, chelators, herbicides, and high levels of heavy metals. Other phytotoxic agents are also useful. Application of multiple inducing agents results in synergistic effects.
L'invention concerne des procédés consistant à provoquer une hyperaccumulation de métaux dans des pousses végétales par exposition à des agents inducteurs. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, on exerce des manipulations augmentant la disponibilité de métaux pour la plante avant d'appliquer l'agent inducteur. Des agents inducteurs efficaces peuvent être des conditions de pH bas, des chélatants, des herbicides, ainsi que des niveaux élevés de métaux lourds. D'autres agents phytotoxiques sont également utiles. L'application d'agents d'activation multiples permet d'obtenir des effets synergiques.
