CHEMICAL MUTAGENESIS-A PROMISING TECHNIQUE TO INCREASE METAL CONCENTRATION AND EXTRACTION IN SUNFLOWERS
|
Since most of the metal-hyperaccumulating wild plants only product very low biomass and many high-yielding crops accumulate only moderate amounts of metals, the current research is mainly focused on overcoming these limitations and the optimization of metal phytoextraction. The main goal of the present study was the improvement of metal concentration and extraction properties of Helianthus animus L by chemical mutagenesis (the non-GMO approach). Sunflowers-hybrid cultivar Salut and inbred lin...
