Abstract:Substituted
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (sub-PAHs) are receiving
increased attention due to their high toxicity and ubiquitous presence.
However, the accumulation behaviors of sub-PAHs in crop roots remain
unclear. In this study, the accumulation mechanism of sub-PAHs in
crop roots was systematically disclosed by hydroponic experiments
from the perspectives of utilization, uptake, and elimination. The
obtained results showed an interesting phenomenon that despite not
having the strongest hydrophobicity am… Show more
