What is it about?
To find low/high radioactive Cs accumulator in Amarantus species, grown in a field of contaminated Fukushima field.

Why is it important?
Information of genetic variation for radioactive Cs uptake among species. Which make agricultural advantage if one want to use Amaranthus as a food and/or remediation. However, the efficiency of remediation is doubtful.
Perspectives
Incorporate the data to have a physiological characteristics for the radioactive Cs uptake in contaminated area.
