Phylogenetic variation in heavy metal accumulation in angiosperms (2001)
Journal Article
Baker, A. J., Willey, N. J., Broadley, M. R., Willey, N., Wilkins, J. C., Baker, A. J. M., …White, P. J. (2001). Phylogenetic variation in heavy metal accumulation in angiosperms. New Phytologist, 152(1), 9-27. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.0028-646x.2001.00238.x

• 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...

Influx and accumulation of Cs+ by the akt1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. lacking a dominant K+ transport system (2001)
Journal Article
Willey, N. J., Escobar-Gutiérrez, A. J., Broadley, M. R., Escobar-Gutierrez, A., Bowen, H. C., Willey, N., & White, P. J. (2001). Influx and accumulation of Cs+ by the akt1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. lacking a dominant K+ transport system. Journal of Experimental Botany, 52(357), 839-844. https://doi.org/10.1093/jexbot/52.357.839

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
Mudiganti, A., Willey, N., Hall, S., & Mudigantia, A. (2001). Assessing the Potential of Phytoremediation at a Site in the U.K. Contaminated with 137Cs. International Journal of Phytoremediation, 3(3), 321-333. https://doi.org/10.1080/15226510108500062

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...
