Get some Wisconsin Fast Plants and some pea plants. I also heard Mustard plants sequester heavy metals well...
Either way, the best way to learn is to do. It's easy to get caught up in reading and writing and never actually doing.
You can get seeds for all those plants for dirt cheap, and start growing them under a light with controlled temp / water etc and measure growth rates. Get some control plants going.Either way, the best way to learn is to do. It's easy to get caught up in reading and writing and never actually doing.
Heavy metals are cheap to test for in general using Flame AA or other atomic absorption techniques, like a few dollars per metal perhaps if ordered in bulk.
I'm sure there are companies out there that do it, as well as research labs, I've found reaching out to professors is a great resource, as they are usually very helpful because someone actually cares about what they are doing!

I want to know everything there is to know about plants and related genetics with an emphasis on those species known to filter out particulate matter, heavy metals and air/soil borne pollutants. I've collected a plant species list and data related to their filtration rates but would like to learn to read and write DNA and make them more efficient at what they already do.--
I'm new to this and wanna work from the ground up to understand whats really going on... any information, tips, resources, experiences, book recommendations, etc are highly appreciated.
Also I'm located in the SF bay area if its any consolation.
