NMT Helps Screen for Heavy Metal Accumulation in Crops

Описание: This video features a newly discovered application for NMT: cadmium screening in celery! Heavy metals like cadmium can pollute the soil and accumulate in crops, leading to health problems in consumers. In 2018, Xu Rui-shen et al. successfully used NMT to screen for cadmium accumulation in celery roots, helping to determine which varieties took up the least amount of cadmium. The dynamic patterns of Cd2+ flux in the celery roots provided these scientists with valuable insight into cadmium accumulation in different plant varieties. This kind of data could also revolutionize further research into the detailed mechanisms of cadmium uptake and stress!

Our Non-invasive Micro-test Technology (NMT) has transformed physiological research in far more fields, leading to new discoveries in plant stress, drug screening, disease research, and more!
