Heavy Metal Accumulation in Plant Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The heavy metals used in these experiments were cadmium (II) chloride, copper (II) chloride, and lead (II) chloride, which are major contaminants of soil and water surrounding urbanized and industrialized locations, in agricultural regions, and near mining and hydraulic fracturing sites2 (link),3 (link),5 (link),27 (link),40 (link). The metals were found to accumulate in floral tissues of plants grown in soil contaminated with these metals7 (link). For cadmium (II) chloride (99.99%; Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH) and lead (II) chloride (99%; Acros Organics, Morris, NJ), the metal concentrations used were 0.001 mg/L, 0.01 mg/L, 0.1 mg/L, 1 mg/L, and 10 mg/L. For copper (II) chloride (99%; Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH), the metal concentrations used were 0.002 mg/L, 0.02 mg/L, 0.2 mg/L, 2 mg/L, and 20 mg/L. Each metal was diluted to the desired concentrations in a 1 M sucrose solution. These concentrations are comparable to or less than the concentrations of these metals found in contaminated environments and measured in the floral parts of plants grown in contaminated soils7 (link),13 (link). Additionally, Di, et al.29 (link) showed these concentrations to be sublethal to adult honey bees in survival assays29 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
