Brochure for children: key aim is to
raise awareness about plants in kids in primary school. To convey its message, it uses a strong narrative and pictures. It has been produced in the following languages, please click on the links to download a high-resolution pdf file for your own re-distribution (allowed freely WITHOUT editing!). The original version is the English one, the others (so far only available for volume 1) are translations made by our members as written in the editorial of each version. Volume 1: The Mystery inside the plants English (pdf) all other languages (zip folder with pdf files inside) - translations improved from the 2023 version Volume 2: The quest for iron English (pdf) Volume 3: The plant breeder English (pdf) |

Practical guidelines for farmers:
efforts of PLANTMETALS WG4 towards a list of crop
plants screened and certified for low content of
potential toxic elements. Examples shown for Cd in

10 min video with shots from our
labs, from synchrotrons and outside locations,
explaining the importance, methods and output of our
research. It is an update of the 7min video from
2022 with added footage from field work and
laboratories provided by our members, and was
entirely re-cut and re-assembled for optimised
matching of explanations with video material. It is
currently available at our YouTube
channel and you can download the original
full-resolution mp4 file here for your own
re-distribution (allowed freely WITHOUT editing!): Czech English |

31 October 2022 | Videos explaining the PLANTMETALS
COST Action to the general public, suitable for
introducing the Action to potential new members and
stakeholders. Two versions are available by download
from the following links: 1) A 3min "talking head" video that explains in an easy way why trace metals are both, required and toxic, for plants and humans. It t is aimed at YouTube and social media. It is currently available at our YouTube channel and you can download the original full-resolution mp4 file HERE for your own re-distribution (allowed freely WITHOUT editing!) 2) 7 min video with shots from our labs, from synchrotrons and outside locations, explaining the importance, methods and output of our research.
