Mimulus guttatus

Fig. 1. DE-52 elution profile of extracts of copper-tolerant Mimulus guttatus roots grown in jq Long Ashton Solution plus added metal ions, for 4 weeks (solutions changed every 4 days to maintain the metal concentration). The column was eluted with a linear gradient of 0 to 1 m KC1 in 10 itim HEPES, pH 6.5. Fractions were collected and measured for metal (- -) and conductivity (-0-)- Metal ions were added as sulphates. A, From roots grown in 4 xm copper. B, From roots grown in 2 p.M cadmium.
