AB : The influence of different concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn) was analyzed inthe Salsola vermiculata germination pattern, seedling development, and accumulation in seedlings.The responses to different metals were dissimilar. Germination was only significantly reduced atCu and Zn 4000 µM but Zn induced radicle growth at lower concentrations. Without damage, thespecies acted as a good accumulator and tolerant for Mn, Ni, and Cu. In seedlings, accumulationincreased following two patterns: Mn and Ni, induced an arithmetic increase in content in tissue, tothe point where the content reached a maximum; with Cu and Ni, the pattern was linear, in whichthe accumulation in tissue was directly related to the metal concentration in the medium. Comparedto other Chenopodiaceae halophyte species, S. vermiculata seems to be more tolerant of metals and isproposed for the phytoremediation of soils contaminated by heavy metals
