Barriers to transport were observed at the root to non-photosynthetic stem transition (TF < 1) for all metal(loid)s, suggesting this species is suitable for phytostabilisation. Sediment and plant tissue metal(loid) concentrations were significantly correlated with photosynthetic performance and plant biomass. As such, the action of sediment and tissue metal(loid)s on photosynthetic performance and the subsequent effect on biomass of S.quinqueflora appear to be suitable targets for molecular analyses to further elucidate mechanisms responsible for the observed adverse effects and the development of adverse outcome pathways.]]> Fri 12 Jul 2024 13:49:26 AEST ]]>
