Chemical contents of hydroponic plants

A Survey of Estrogenic Chemical Contents in Water/biosolid Samples from Canadian Wastewater Treatment Plants

Effect of Phosphorus Application in Hydroponic Solution on Growth and Phosphorus Uptake in Chrysanthemum Plants

The relationship between phosphorus (P) uptake and growth rate of chrysanthemum plants grown hydroponically for cut flowers was investigated. In Exp. 1, fresh weight increase of chrysanthemum cv. Seiun plants at flower budding phase administered 0 to 40 ppm in culture solution for 16 days was evaluated. 1. P uptake by the chrysanthemum plants was nearly proportionate to P concentration in the c...

Quantitative plant proteomics using hydroponic isotope labeling of entire plants (HILEP)

Leaching of heavy metal from native plants by chemical leachants

Plant biomass harvested after heavy-metal phytoremediation must be considered as a hazardous waste that should be contained or treated appropriately before disposal or reuse. This study provides an evaluation of extractants for the removal of lead from Abutilon Theophrastus biomass. The research was carried out a leaching study to determine the lead-extraction efficiency of the different leacha...

Assessment of Heavy Metal Contents of Some Indian Medicinal Plants

The present study was carried out to quantitatively analyze the levels of six potentially toxic heavy metals viz., arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) in ten important Indian medicinal plants. The air dried powdered plant materials were subjected to microwave assisted wet digestion for the preparation of test samples. The samples were analyzed by u...
