Description

The influence of La on the uptake of Be, Na, Sc, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, and Tc by marigold (Tagetes patula L.) was investigated using the multitracer technique. Marigold plants were grown in river sand to which was added La(NO3) of 10 μmol La kg-1 sand. The uptake of 46Sc increased with La application, while those of 54Mn, 75Se, and 83Rb decreased. Therefore, we conclude that La affects the uptake of Sc, Mn, Se, and Rb by marigold. (author)
