    Good Info…

  • Fred Terracina says:

    A nice site. I appreciate the information. I might suggest that plants such as those in the Lemnaceae may be more useful for studying mineral uptake than Arabadopsis spp. This is so because one can easily clone and grow Lemna spp. in test tubes or flasks. They can reachmature stages in short periods, etc.
    I must admit though that I worked with Lemna purpesilla 6746 a long time ago and went on to other fields. I am uncertain if it or other Lemnaceae accumulate Zinc but I am reasonably sure there are ways to induce them to do so

  • Fred Terracina says:

    Ijust did a quick google of “Zinca and Lemna” and sure enough there exists quite a few relevant papers. I am reasonably sure the authors of the Aradosis papers are aware of the scientific data on heavy metal accumulation by aquatic plants such as Lemna and have good reason for selecting Aradopsis sp. for their investigations. GOOD LUCK .

  • A.H. says:

    OK, I will follow your rules.
