What is Copper Accumulation in Lygodium japonicum about?

The document summarizes a study that found the fern Lygodium japonicum is able to accumulate high levels of copper (Cu) in its cell walls when grown in Cu-rich media. Specifically: - L. japonicum was grown in media containing 0.2 mM or 0.4 mM CuSO4 and showed rapid Cu uptake, accumulating up to 20 μmol g-1 dry weight of Cu after 20 days of growth. - When the cell walls were isolated and sequentially extracted, the amount of pectin extracted from walls of cells grown in 0.4 mM Cu was 53% lower than the co
