Journal ArticleDOI
Metal Selectivity Determinants in a Family of Transition Metal Transporters
Dorina Podar,Dorina Podar,Judith Scherer,Zeenat B. Noordally,Pawel Herzyk,Dietrich H. Nies,Dale Sanders,Dale Sanders +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the His-rich loop, which might play a role as a zinc chaperone, determines the identity of the metal ions that are transported, and the residues within transmembrane domain 3 can also influence metal selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cadmium, zinc and substrate heterogeneity on yield, shoot metal concentration and metal uptake by Brassica juncea: implications for human health risk assessment and phytoremediation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that human health risk from consuming plant parts grown on Cd-contaminated substrates is lower when Zn is also present and metal distribution is heterogeneous, and that phytoremediation potential is greater when contaminant distribution isheterogeneous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elemental assessment of vegetation via portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry.
Candice McGladdery,David C. Weindorf,Somsubhra Chakraborty,Bin Li,Laura Paulette,Dorina Podar,Delaina Pearson,Nana Yaw O. Kusi,Bogdan Duda +8 more
TL;DR: PXRF was shown to be a useful approach for quickly assessing the elemental concentration in vegetation and future PXRF/vegetation research should explore additional elements and investigate its usefulness in evaluating phytoremediation effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving zinc accumulation in cereal endosperm using HvMTP1, a transition metal transporter
Paloma K. Menguer,Thomas R. Vincent,Anthony J. Miller,James K. M. Brown,Eva Vincze,Søren Borg,Preben Bach Holm,Dale Sanders,Dale Sanders,Dorina Podar,Dorina Podar +10 more
TL;DR: It is argued that this proof‐of‐principle study provides the basis of a strategy for biofortification of cereal endosperm with Zn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiological contamination and resistance genes in biofilms occurring during the drinking water treatment process
Anca Farkas,Anca Butiuc-Keul,Dorin Ciatarâş,Călin Neamţu,C. Crăciunaş,Dorina Podar,M. Drăgan-Bularda +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that biofilm communities in a drinking water treatment plant are a reservoir of class 1 integrons, mainly in bacteria that may be associated with microbiological contamination.
