Seven Editora, 2024. Cap. 12. DOI: 10.56238/sevened2024.004-012.10.56238/sevened2024.004-012https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/470This chapter revisited an experiment that evaluated elicitors for the germination of Vigna unguiculata (Cowpea Beans): the plant extract of Euphorbia tirucalli, the ultra-diluted and dynamized solution of Sulfur 5CH, and the two in combination. In 2017, significant seed engorgement and ammonia-like odor exudation suggested involvement of the sodium/potassium pump, thiol group detoxifying enzymes, and nitrogenous oxidative stress pathways. Given recent literature linking thiol groups to mercury phytoremediation, the study discusses E. tirucalli as a potential hyperaccumulator, considering mechanisms such as phytoextraction and phytovolatilization of pollutants.pdf.Vigna unguiculataEuphorbia tirucalliFitorremediaçãoMetais pesadosFitovolatilizaçãoCapítulo de livroCiências Ambientais
