The Elements of Plant Micronutrients

The elements of plant micronutrients.

Amino acid R groups in proteins provide a limited repertoire of functional groups for catalyzing biochemical transformations. The use of inorganic elements, particularly the first row transition metals, expands greatly the range of chemistry that can be catalyzed in a cell. Zinc ions are key for enzymatic catalysis of reactions that require an electrophile, while iron, manganese, copper, nickel...

Uptake of Some Elements with Aquatic Plants Exposed to the Effluent of Wastewater Treatment Plant

In this study, in the removal of macro (P, S, Na, K, Ca, Mg) and micro (Sb, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Mo, Se, Ag, Zn) elements in the effluent of Elazig Wastewater Treatment Plant, the efficiency of Lemna minor L. and Lemna gibba L. has been studied comparatively. For this aim, fronds of these plants have been adapted to the effluent of the treatment plant that feeds pilot scale reactors. The...
