An assessment of Agropyron cristatum tolerance to cadmium contaminated soil
A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to assess the tolerance of Agropyron cristatum plants to cadmium contaminated soils (0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg kg-1) for 100 d.

Accumulation of Pb, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn in plants and choice of hyperaccumulator plant in the industrial town of Vian, Iran [PDF]
Various industrial activities contribute heavy metals to the soil environment directly or indirectly through the release of solid wastes, waste gases, and wastewater. Phytoremediation can be potentially used to remedy metal-contaminated sites. A major

A family case of fertile human 45,X,psu dic(15;Y) males [PDF]
We report on a familial case including four male probands from three generations with a 45,X,psu dic(15;Y)(p11.2;q12) karyotype. 45,X is usually associated with a female phenotype and only rarely with maleness, due to translocation of small Y chromosomal

Translocation and insertion of precursor proteins into isolated outer membranes of mitochondria [PDF]
Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub- mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer

Metal Accumulation by Jatropha curcas L. Adult Plants Grown on Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soil
Jatropha curcas has the ability to phytoextract high amounts of heavy metals during its first months just after seeding. Notwithstanding, there is scarce information about metal uptake by adult J. curcas plants. To shed light on this issue, 4-year-old J.

Investigation of Bioaccumulation Capacity of Barley for Soil Lead and Chromium under Drought Stress Conditions [PDF]
Introduction: The use of sewage sludge, which is mixed locally with poultry waste and is available at a relatively low cost, improves the circulation of nutrients and organic matter in the soil, reduces the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, and ...
