09/03-- David Salt, associate professor of plant molecular physiology, compares growth rates of the plants used in his ionomics research. The plants shown here are Arabidopsis mutants he identified that are growing on media enriched in the mineral nutrients and trace elements arsenic, nickel and zinc. Salt is leading a research team that has developed a new field called "ionomics," or the study of how genes regulate all the ions in a cell.
