Bulletin of environmental contamination and toxicology 2022 v.108 no.2 pp. 359-365
ISSN:
0007-4861
Subject:
hydroponics; pollution; synergism; toxicology; triticale; zinc
Abstract:
... We investigated the ability of triticale uptake of Mercury (Hg), clarified whether triticale root uptake of Hg²⁺ via Zinc (Zn²⁺) transports, using hydroponic experiments. At 25℃, when Hg exposure in solution was lower than 20 μM, Hg concentration in the roots can be better described by a hyperbolic function, which shows a saturable characteristic. Under ice-cold (< 2℃) conditions, a nonsaturable ( ...

Thus, this study was undertaken to investigate accumulation of Al₂O₃, CuO, and TiO₂ NPs following exposure to different concentrations (0, 1, 3, and 9 mg/L) of NPs for 14 days. Metal concentrations in tissues were dete ...
