Accumulation of Tc-Bio-organic Complexes in Spinach Plants in Relation to Growth

  • Chapter
Technetium in the Environment

Abstract

This study aims to contribute to a consistent model on the biochemical behaviour of Tc—administered as NH4TcO4—in plants, using spinach (Spinacea oleraces L. cv. Verbeterd breedblad) as a test object.
