www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 337 7 SEPTEMBER 2012 1141 COVER Artist’s conception of the complex network of relationships between disease and the human genome. Hundreds of diseases and traits (represented by colored dots) have been mapped to specifi c chromosomal positions in the genome. Most disease-associated genetic variants fall outside of protein-coding genes, instead affecting the genome’s regulatory circuitry by modifying the DNA “switches” (some of which are depicted here as gray triangles, many others not shown) that control gene activity.

Phytoremediation potential of heavy metals by two native pasture plants (Eucalyptus grandis and ailanthus altissima) assisted with AMF and fibrous minerals in contaminated mining regions

The current study assesses the effect of fibrous clay minerals’ amendments and arbuscular mycorrhiza incubation on heavy metal uptake and translocation in Eucalyptus grandis and Ailanthus altissima plants. For doing so, Eucalyptus and ailanthus trees have been grown in a soil sample, contaminated with heavy metal iron ore mining and collected from southern Iran. The area under study is arid, wi...

Metal extraction competence of plants on waste dumps of magnesite mine, Salem District, South India

An ex-situ experiment to assess the metal extractive potential of fourteen agriculture plants (Vigna unguiculata, Gossypium hirsutum, Jatropha curcas, etc.) was conducted on Magnesite mines which had above permissible levels of Cadmium and Lead. There was no much difference in the total chlorophyll a and b, carbohydrate and protein contents in the plants grown in the mining soil and adjacent co...

Heavy Metal Contaminations at Two Iranian Copper Mining Areas and the Remediation by Indigenous Plants

Background: High concentrations of various heavy metals of mine tailings can easily contaminate the environment. Such materials need monitoring and remediation to prevent them from polluting the environment and food chain. Materials & Methods: The concentrations of certain metals were evaluated in the soil samples at Sorkheh and Mazraeh copper mining areas in northwestern Iran, using three r...

Heavy metal contamination in soil and some medicinal plant species in Ahangaran lead-zinc mine, Iran

Ahangaran lead-zinc mining area located in the west part of Iran is a mountainous region. In this study, medical plants and soils from 3 different sites in this area were collected in spring 2012. Soil and medical plants were analyzed for heavy metals [lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu)] concentrations using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) optical emission spectrometer (Varian ...
