Fig. 3-3. Relative available metal ion concentrations (top) and relative metal tolerances to the ions (bottom) for six populations of Silene vulgaris. In both graphs, for each metal the population with the highest tolerance or soil metal concentration has been given the value of 100 all the other populations have been expressed relative to this.

Karataglis etal. (1988) reported changes in the number of isoesterase bands and quantitative changes of band activity after treatment of Triticum aestivum with toxic concentrations of zinc, cadmium, copper, lead, and nickel. In nickel treated Silene vulgaris, a change of the isoesterase pattern was also found (Pandolfini and Maier, 1985). 

Another approach may also be performed by transferring the spots from one plate to another plate. In such circumstances, the development in the first direction was carried out on a narrow 2-cm strip. After drying, it was clipped face to face to a 20 x 20 or 10 x 10 cm plate for development in the second direction. Close contact has to be maintained between the two layers for a proper development. In this case, the first plate can be used with a silica gel layer and the second plate can be used with a silica gel RP-Cig or vice versa. In this way, the analysis of saponins in Silene vulgaris Gracke was carried out in the first direction on RP-18W HPTLC plates with 1.0% aqueous formic acid-methanol (30 70, v/v) as mobile phase and in the second, perpendicular, direction on silica gel Si 60 HPTLC with chloroform-methanol-formic acid-water (100 40 10 10, v/v) as mobile phase. With the use of 2-D TLC bilayers, the saponin mixture could be separated into 18 components, while conventional TLC could separate the mixture into nine components only. ...
