Introduction -- Chemistry of Uranium -- Methods of Uranium Detection -- Uranium Uptake by Plants -- Storage and Metabolism -- Uranium Immobilization and Excretion |
| Summary |
This book explores the uranium uptake by plants and its impact on plant physiology and biochemistry. In the first part of this work, the author summarizes the chemistry of uranium, its use and its environmental distribution. Then, particular attention is given to the methods for uranium detection, and to the plant biochemical reactions that influence the uranium uptake. Readers will also discover several strategies adopted by cells to immobilize and handle uranium |
