The tolerance of Eucalyptus globulus to soil contamination with arsenic
Reboredo, Fernando Henrique; Pelica, João; Lidon, Fernando C.; Pessoa, Maria F.; Silva, Maria Manuela; Guerra, Mauro; Leitão, Roberta; Ramalho, José C.The contamination of abandoned mining areas is a problem worldwide that needs urgent attention. Phytoremediation emerges as a successful method to extract different contaminants from the soil. In this context, Eucalyptus globulus plants growing in soils artificial contaminated with arsenic (As) were used to access its phytoremediation capabilities. The effects of As on photosynthetic performance were monitored ...
Zinc Enrichment in Two Contrasting Genotypes of Triticum aestivum L. Grains: In...
Luís, Inês Carmo; Lidon, Fernando C.; Pessoa, Cláudia Campos; Marques, Ana Coelho; Coelho, Ana Rita F.; Simões, Manuela; Patanita, Manuel; Dôres, JoséThis study aimed to assess the implications of Zn enrichment in wheat grains as a function of contrasting genotypes, edaphic conditions and foliar fertilizers. Triticum aestivum L. varieties Roxo and Paiva were grown in four production fields, and sprayed with ZnSO4 (0, 16.20 and 36.40 kg/ha) Zn-EDTA (0, 6.30 and 12.60 kg/ha) and Tecnifol Zinc (0, 3.90 and 7.80 kg/ha). The heterogeneous edaphic conditions of th...
