Enhancement of Phosphate Absorption by Garden Plants by Genetic Engineering: A New Tool for Phytoremediation

Figure 4

Large-scale hydroponic experiments. (a) Changes in Pi concentration in hydroponic solutions. The phosphorus concentration in a hydroponic solution in which host (filled circle) and AtPHR1 transgenic torenia (empty circle) were cultured was measured. The longitudinal axis shows the phosphorus concentration (mg/L), and the horizontal axis shows the number of days. Hydroponic solutions were fully exchanged 30 days after starting the experiment. (b) Large-scale experiment (0 day). (c) Large-scale experiment (65 days).
