A BIOPHYSICALLY BASED FRAMEWORK FOR EXAMINING PHYTOREMEDIATION STRATEGIES: OPTIMIZATION OF UPTAKE, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF CADMIUM IN ALPINE PENNYCRESS (THLASPI CAERULESCNES)

This work consists of constructing a model that combines an understanding of physical transport processes and the biological mechanisms involved in the uptake, transport and sequestration of contaminants by a hyperaccumulator, alpine pennycress (Thlaspi caerulesciens), a non-accumulator, field penny...
