  • Title: Development of a hydroponic screening technique to assess heavy metal resistance in willow (Salix).
    Author: Watson C, Pulford ID, Riddell-Black D.
    Journal: Int J Phytoremediation; 2003; 5(4):333-49. PubMed ID: 14750561.
    Abstract:
    A nutrient thin film hydroponic system has been developed which allows rapid screening of willow (Salix) clones for their resistance to heavy metals, and hence their use in phytoremediation. Two clones known to be different in their resistance to heavy metals (Salix burjatica (Germany) and S. triandra x viminalis (Q83)), could be distinguished on the basis of leaf biomass, root biomass and stem height after 6 weeks. There were also differences in the uptake of heavy metals between the two clones.
