Florigiant). Reduction studies with the Fe3+-chelates of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetate (HEDTA), N,N-ethylenediaminediacetate, and diethylenetriamine-pentaacetate (DTPA) each showed saturation kinetics characteristic of active processes by plants. Km values varied from 23 to 85 μM, and Vmax from 0·55 to 5·5 μmol h–1 (g fresh roots)–1. Vmax values declined as the Fe3+-chelate formation constant increased. The removal of plant shoots reduced initial (< 6 h) reduction rates by 22%. The Km′ for Fe3+-chelates was much higher than Fe3+-chelate concentrations in soil solutions of problem calcareous soils.

Young male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (7-8 weeks of age, five/sex/group) were given either soluble lead acetate mixed in a purified diet (AIN-76) at three different dose levels (1, 25, and 250 ppm Pb for 30 consecutive days) or intravenously at doses of 0.02, 0.20, and 2.0 mg Pb/kg BW for 29 days. A control group (purified diet only) was also included. The intravenous groups were used to provide maximal absorption (lead presumed to be 100% bioavailable) and accumulation data for lead in blood, bone, and liver. The lead acetate groups were used to evaluate the comparability of the present study with a previous study that compared bioavailable lead from ingested soil and lead acetate. Group mean whole blood, bone and liver lead concentration values increased with increasing dose levels for all treatment groups. A linear relationship was observed between blood lead concentration and dose following intravenous administration of lead and this provided empirical support for using blood lead concentrations at supposed steady state (approximately 30 days) to compute the bioavailability of lead administered by different routes and from different sources. The absolute bioavailability values of mining waste lead in soil were low based on the results for all tissue types. Absolute bioavailability values for lead acetate in dosed feed for blood, bone, and liver were approximately 6-, 19-, and 20-fold greater, respectively, than mining waste lead. Based on the current design and test system used, the absolute bioavailability of mining waste lead in soil administered in feed was approximately 3% based on blood data and less than 1% based on bone and liver data. These data are consistent with the low solubility of the constituent lead mineral phases in Butte soils.

The focus is on identification of hyperaccumulating plant species for cadmium and zinc. Two of the studies examined Thlaspi caerulescens (alpine pennycress) as a bioadsorbent; the third study compared different species of Thlaspi. The T. caerulescens accumulated both metals, but with low yields. Other plant species were identified which adsorbed cadmium or zinc, but not both metals.

Depending on soil pH and fertility, metal-rich soils may be barren and eroding into wider areas. Some elements present risk to humans, wildlife, livestock, plants, or soil organism and require remediation. The engineering approach of removing the contaminated soil is extremely expensive. Thus, alternative methods for in situ remediation of element-rich soils have been developed by the agricultural sciences. These methods include phytoextraction (growing plants which accumulate enough concentrations of an element in shoots for removal from the field) and phytostabilization (adding soil amendments which convert soil elements into forms with much lower phytoavailability and bioavailability so they no longer pose a risk to the environment). Phytomining is a variant of phytoextraction in w...

Prepubescent male and female SPF New Zealand White rabbits (5/sex/group) were given a single oral (capsule) administration of soil (3900 ppm As) at three different dose levels (0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 g of soil/kg, corresponding to 0.78, 1.95, and 3.9 mg As/kg, respectively). Standard groups included untreated controls, an intravenous sodium arsenate group (1.95 mg As/kg), and a gavage sodium arsenate group (1.95 mg As/kg). Urine, cage rinse, and feces were collected at 24-hr intervals for 5 days and were analyzed for total As concentration. Clinical signs, body weights, and food consumption for treated animals were similar to controls. Maximum As concentrations were obtained over the initial 24-hr collection interval. A dose-dependent delay in urinary As excretion, the major elimination pathway, was observed in the oral soil group compared to that in the gavage group. For the animals in the soil groups, approximately 80% of the administered As dose was eliminated in the feces compared to approximately 10 and 50% for the intravenous and oral gavage groups, respectively. The relative oral bioavailabilities (+/- SD) of As in the gavage and test soil groups based on comparison with excreta data from the intravenous group were approximately 50 +/- 5.7 and 24 +/- 3.2%, respectively (after normalization of intravenous group&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s As recovery data to 100%). These results indicated that As in the soil was probably in a less soluble and therefore a less absorbable form than sodium arsenate.

Merr.] cultivars differing in susceptibility to iron (Fe) chlorosis in wet calcareous soils were grown in nutrient solutions to characterize the effects of phosphate (P) and bicarbonate (HCO‐3) in inducing chlorosis. NaHCO3 (0 or 10 mM), P (10 or 400 µM as NaH2PO4, and NH+4 (0 or 300 µM) as (NH4)2SO4 were factorial treatments in a nutrient solution. Low Fe availability was maintained by supplying 5 µM Fe + 10 µM EDDHA, and excess CaCO3(pH 7.5). With no HCO‐3 added, ‘T203’ (extremely chlorosis susceptible) was green at 10 µM P, but severely chlorotic at 400 µM P; ‘Wayne’ (chlorosis susceptible) was green at both P levels. Addition of HCO‐3 caused chlorosis in T203 and Wayne at 10 or 400 µM P. Chlorosis resistant ‘AP9’ and ‘Hawkeye’ remained green with added P or HCO‐3. Chlorosis ratings (1 = green to 5 = severely chlorotic) in the 0 HCO‐3 + 10 µM P, 0 HCO‐3 + 400 µM P and 10 HCO‐3 + 400 µM P treatments, respectively, were: 1.0, 1.0, and 1.5 for AP9; 1.0...

Approach grafts of T3238Fe (Fe‐efficient) top on T3238fe rootstock and vice versa, located the cause of Fe inefficiency in T3238fe roots. The T3238Fe tomato takes up more Fe than T3238fe and it responds favorably to Fe‐stress by releasing hydrogen ions from its roots, increasing reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ at its roots, and increasing the citrate concentration in its roots. T3238fe showed very little response to Fe stress; it was unable to absorb and transport adequate Fe from PeEDDHA to support growth.
