Topology: A novel method to describe branching patterns in Peronospora viciae colonies (2003)
Journal Article
Topology provides a novel means to describe branching patterns and has not been applied to fungal colonies previously. For any branched structure, various topologies are possible, and these lie between two extremes, a herringbone pattern (main axis w...

Phytoextractio of 137Cs: The effect of soil 137Cs concentration on 137Cs uptake by Beta vulgaris (2002)
Journal Article
The last phase for MAGNOX ELECTRIC plc's reactor decommissioning strategy is site clearance and delicencing. Phytoextraction of 137Cs may be able to assist in meeting this objective. Field trials using Beta vulgaris conducted at Bradwell Nuclear Powe... Read More about Phytoextractio of 137Cs: The effect of soil 137Cs concentration on 137Cs uptake by Beta vulgaris.
Flowering plant phylogeny and the uptake of radionuclides (2002)
Journal Article
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...

A method to assess taxonomic variation in shoot caesium concentration among flowering plants (1999)
Journal Article
A method was developed to obtain relative shoot caesium (Cs) concentration data from the literature and assess the influence of plant taxonomy on these values. A residual maximum likelihood (REML) analysis was performed on data from 14 published stud...

A comparison of caesium uptake kinetics in eight species of grass (1999)
Journal Article
The Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters (I(max) K(m) and C(min)) of CS uptake were estimated using a solution-depletion method, after 0, 1 and 4 d K-starvation in eight mature grass species of different relative growth rates (Bromus sterilis L., Elym...

Differences in root uptake of radiocaesium by 30 plant taxa (1997)
Journal Article
The concentration of Cs was measured in the shoots of 30 taxa of plants after exposing the roots for 6 h to 0.1 μg radiolabelled Cs g-1 soil. There were maximum differences between Chenopodium quinoa and Koeleria macrantha of 20-fold in Cs concentrat... Read More about Differences in root uptake of radiocaesium by 30 plant taxa.
A comparison of stable caesium uptake by six grass species of contrasting growth strategy (1997)
Journal Article
Six plant species in the family Gramineae were used to investigate the relationship between Cs uptake, nutrient regime and plant growth strategy sensu Grime. The roots of 66 day old Elymus repens (L.) Gould., Bromus sterilis L., Agrostis stolonifera...

Annual patterns of Cs-133 concentration in british upland vegetation (1995)
Journal Article
Samples of Juncus effusus, Erica cinerea, Erica tetralix, Calluna vulgaris, Vaccinium myrtillus, Molinia caerulea, Pteridium aquilinum and Festuca ovina (all species characteristic of upland Britain) were taken from the field over a one year period a...
