The contents of iodine in these components and the soil were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and radiochemical neutron activation analysis, respectively. Iodine content varied by more than three orders of magnitude among the plant components. Mean concentration of iodine in the entire plants was 20 mg/kg dry weight, and the concentration of iodine in the surface soil (0-20 cm depth) was 48 mg/kg.}, pages = {2243--2247}, title = {Uptake and distribution of iodine in rice plants}, volume = {37}, year = {2008} }
