- Intervention effect Increasing metal concentration significantly reduced germination percentage.
- Intervention effect Increasing metal concentration significantly increased mean germination time.
- Intervention effect Increasing metal concentration inhibited seedling growth.
- Observation Iron was most toxic, then copper, then zinc.
- Observation P. tunetana was highly tolerant to metal toxicity during germination.
- Observation P. lanceolata was highly tolerant to metal toxicity during germination.
- Observation P. afra had low tolerance to metal toxicity during germination.
- Recommendation The authors identify P. tunetana as having excellent potential for phytoremediation.
- Recommendation The authors identify P. lanceolata as having excellent potential for phytoremediation.
