Vanadium uptake and transport in higher plants
The uptake and transport of vanadium in several higher plant species has been examined. Studies utilizing excised Hordeum roots have revealed the uptake patterns of two different ionic species of vanadium (V02+ and V03) to be similar. Both ionic forms exhibited a large extracellular component in …
