Risa Schulman graduate student in Dr. Raskin's lab, received her Ph.D. in October 1998, and is currently employed by Solgar.
	My project focused on screening EMS-mutangenized M2 Brassica juncea seedlings for enhanced ability to take up heavy metals. Individuals were assayed by incubating them in radiolabelled heavy metals and then visualizing uptake using a highly sensitive phosphorimaging technique. Promising individuals were then grown for seed and used to study mechanisms of metal uptake.
