Phylogenetic variation in heavy metal accumulation in angiosperms (2001)
Journal Article

• The influence of phylogeny on shoot heavy metal content in plants was investigated and the hypothesis tested that traits impacting on the accumulation of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc in plant shoots are associated. • Data suitab...

Phytoremediation: Solar-powered soil decontamination (2001)
Journal Article

Influx and accumulation of Cs+ by the akt1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. lacking a dominant K+ transport system (2001)
Journal Article

An extensive literature reports that Cs+, an environmental contaminant, enters plant cells through K+ transport systems. Several recently identified plant K+ transport systems are permeable to Cs+. Permeation models indicate that most Cs+ uptake into... Read More about Influx and accumulation of Cs+ by the akt1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. lacking a dominant K+ transport system.

Assessing the Potential of Phytoremediation at a Site in the U.K. Contaminated with 137Cs (2001)
Journal Article

Spinacia oleracea L. cv. 'Bloomsdale', Beta vulgaris L. cv. 'Flavescens', Brassica juncea L. 'OB825', and Helianthus annuus L. cv. 'Oranges and Lemons' were grown for 8 weeks at a site contaminated with 137Cs at Bradwell Nuclear Power Station, UK. Th...
