ADSORPTION OF PHOSPHOROUS BY CATTAIL CALLUS CELLS

Citation:

Estime**, L, M O'Shea*, AND M Borst*. ADSORPTION OF PHOSPHOROUS BY CATTAIL CALLUS CELLS. Presented at ASCE Urban Water Resources Research Council/Engineering Foundation Conference, Snowmass, CO, August 19 - 24, 2001.

Impact/Purpose:

To inform the public.

Description:

Data from this study demonstrates that cattail callus cells can be used to predict the phosphorus concentration in cattail leaves when they are supplied with similar phosphorus levels. If this relationship between callus cells and whole plants is found applicable to other marsh plant species, callus cells could be used as a rapid means to screen plants for their capacity to adsorb phosphorus.
