This paper analyses the capacity of the rape (Brassica napus) to extract Cd and Zn from the
soil and the effect of these metals on the morphometric parameters of the plant (length …

The contamination of the soil with heavy metals (eg Zn) is a serious and crosscutting issue
worldwide. Phytotechnologies can minimize the negative impact of this problem using plants …

Abstract α-Lactalbumin bound with negligible, one and two Ca 2+ ions (apo, holo-Ca and
holo-2Ca La) were prepared, and thermal stability and gastrointestinal digestibility under …

Chelate-assisted phytoextraction is proposed to be an effective approach for the removal of
metals from contaminated soil. Organic chelators can improve this biological technique by …
