Abstract
Three kinds of sprouts in the Brassicaceae family of plants namely pink kale radish and mustard were evaluated for the possibility of phytoremediation of lanthanides The mustard sprout more efficiently accumulated lanthanides eg 026 nmol La/g than other Brassicaceae family plant sprouts 016 nmol La/g in the radish however the radish sprout showed the fastest growth among three sprouts Faster growth compensated for less efficiency in lanthanide accumulation 28 pmol La in the radish vs 12 pmol La in the mustard indicating that the radish is the most preferable sprout for the phytoremediation of lanthanides
