Possibly the Cr, bound in specific organic residues, is readily available for uptake by J. romerianus. This finding may suggest that this plant holds promise for phytoremediating certain Cr-con-taminated sediments.In Puerto Rico, the U.S. Armed Forces, the National Guard and the Police Department use and store large quantities of ammunitions for their field-range firing maneuvers.…

As seen in Figure 3.6 however, the only significant change produced by 24 hour cytokinin treatments was a doubling of the fluorescent signal, which affected both modified reporters and the pWUS:eGFP-WUS control alike. Expression of pWUS:NLS-eGFP-WUS was more clearly nuclear localized than pWUS:eGFP-WUS as expected, while pWUS:eGFP-NESWUS produced very little fluorescent signal under either treatment.…
