OBS

hyperaccumulatrice, hyperaccumulateur : Selon Le Bon usage (Grevisse, M. 13e ed., 2001, page 726, article 467-c) «si la réduction a pour résultat la transformation d'un adjectif en nom, celui-ci reçoit le genre du noyau effacé». Dans les sources consultées, le terme «hyperaccumulateur» semble d'usage plus fréquent que «hyperaccumulatrice».
