The utilization of X‐ray microradiography and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy techniques for investigation of the metal accumulation in different part of leaf samples and the potential of the LIBS‐analysis for finding the proper plant species for phytoremediation is compared.
Abstract
This article reports on the utilization of X-ray microradiography and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) techniques for investigation of the metal accumulation in different part of leaf samples. The potential of the LIBS-analysis for finding the proper plant species for phytoremediation is compared with the results of microradiography measurements at the HERCULES source at ENEA, Rome (Italy) and X-ray microradiography experiments at the ELETTRA Synchrotron, Trieste (Italy).

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for analysis of plant materials: A review

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the development and contributions of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the determination of elements in plant materials is presented, where the solid samples are interrogated by simply focusing the laser pulses directly onto a fresh or dried surface of leaves, roots, fruits, vegetables, wood and pollen.

Silicon-mediated alleviation of Cr(VI) toxicity in wheat seedlings as evidenced by chlorophyll florescence, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and anatomical changes.

TL;DR: The results showed the suitability of chlorophyll fluorescence as a parameter and appropriateness of LIBS technique and anatomical procedures to elucidate Si-mediated alleviation of Cr(VI) toxicity, and suggest that the measured parameters and techniques can be used non-invasively for monitoring the growth of crops under different environmental conditions.
