Can't offer much in the way of refs, but I did just happen to see
a news-type article in _Science_ (Vol. 269, No. 5222, 21 Jul 95) by one
Anne Simon Moffat, "Plants proving their worth in toxic metal cleanup".
(Pp. 302-303.)

The thing that really got to me was the photo of "_Arabidopsis_ plants
[that] carry a bacterial gene that enables them to grow on a mercuric
chloride solution"!  Anything that can grow on corrosive sublimate
deserves respect.  :-) 

Cheers,  Ian S.
