CAPABILITY OF SELECTED CROP PLANTS FOR SHOOT MERCURY ACCUMULATION FROM POLLUTED SOILS: PHYTOREMEDIATION PERSPECTIVES
Mar 01, 2007; ... High-biomass crops can be considered as an alternative to hyperaccumutator plants to phytoremediate soils contaminated by heavy metals. In order to assess their practical capability for the absorption and accumulation of Hg in shoots, barley, white lupine, lentil, and chickpea were tested in pot ...
ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION IN POPLAR TREES (POPULUS DELTOIDES x NIGRA, DN34) EXPOSED TO THE TOXIC EXPLOSIVE HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRINITRO-1,3,5-TRIAZINE (RDX)
Mar 01, 2007; ... Poplar plants (Populus deltoides x nigra, DN34) growing under hydroponic conditions were exposed to 50 mg L^sup -1^ of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) for 24 h. The expression of genes potentially involved in the metabolism of toxic explosives was analyzed by reverse-transcriptase ...
PHYTOEXTRACTION OF ARSENIC FROM SOIL BY LEERSIA ORYZOIDES
Mar 01, 2007; ... The potential of Leersia oryzoides (rice-cut grass) to remediate arsenic-contaminated soil was studied in greenhouse pot experiments. Leersia oryzoides grown in soil amended with arsenic to a concentration of 110 mg kg^sup -1^, extracted up to 305 mg kg^sup -1^ and 272 mg kg^sup -1^ arsenic into ...
SOIL MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AS AFFECTED BY THE RHIZOSPHERE OF THE HYPERACCUMULATOR THLASPI CAERULESCENS UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS
Mar 01, 2007; ... It is hypothesized that metal hyperaccumulator plants have specific rhizosphere conditions, potentially modifying the bioavailability of soil metals. This article aims to further the knowledge about the rhizosphere of the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens, focusing on its microflora isolated ...
PHYTOVOLATILIZATION OF OXYGENATED GASOLINE-IMPACTED GROUNDWATER AT AN UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK SITE VIA CONIFERS
Mar 01, 2007; ... A stand of five conifers (Pinus sp.) bordering a gasoline service station was studied to estimate the methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) emission rate from gasoline-impacted groundwater. Groundwater was impacted with gasoline oxygenates MTBE and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) at combined concentrations ...
