Abstract
⺠The possibility of using serpentine plants for phytoextraction of Cd was investigated. ⺠Variation in Cd tolerance, accumulation and translocation in three Alyssum plants with different phenotypes were found. ⺠Alyssum montanum showed higher Cd tolerance and accumulation than the Ni hyperaccumulator Alyssum bertolonii. ⺠As for the kinetic parameters of the Cd uptake system, A. montanum presented a low apparent Km value. ⺠The Vmax values were not significantly different among the plants.
