Vegetative Response to Metal Exposure in a Growing Media
CX(s) Applied: B3.6
Date: 11/07/2011
Location(s): South Carolina
Offices(s): Savannah River Operations Office
The objective of this project is to determine vegetations physiological response to metal exposure in the growing media. 772-27b Lab 4 will contain two plant growth chambers with a refrigerator for sample storage. Activities will include: growing plants from seed in soil, agar and hydroponically and the monitoring of plant growth for signature responses through the use of a near infrared spectrometer. After harvest, plants will be processed in 772-27b Lab 3. Processing will consist of weighing and separation of plant by tissue (root, stem, leaf). Plants samples will then be sent to an off-site lab for genomic analysis.
