[Extraction of plant root apoplast solution: a case study with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons].

It is of great importance to investigate the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in plant root apoplast solution for elucidating the mechanisms underlying root absorption and translocation of PAHs and their control. However, little information is available on the extraction of plant root apoplast solution to date. In this study, wheat was employed and phenanthrene was used as the representative of PAHs.
