The major environmental source of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichlo-roethane) residues in soybean plants arises from vapor movement from contaminated soil surfaces. In contrast, the presence of dieldrin, endrin, and heptachlor results primarily from root uptake and translocation through stems to leaves and seeds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
