Abstract
⺠We studied arsenic hyperaccumulation in Pteris vittata starting from the root system. ⺠As elicited modifications in root hair number, length and differentiation pattern. ⺠A modulation in nucleolar activity was detected following As treatments. ⺠As influenced the production of border-like cells, shown for the first time in ferns. ⺠As-induced morphogenic responses improved the absorbance features of root.
