Chaney is an Environmental Agronomist. He retired from USDA-Agricultural Research Service in 2016 after 47 years of basic and applied research on trace elements in soils, plants and animals. He conducted research on the fate, food-chain transfer, potential effects, and remediation of hazards from soil microelements: 1) plant uptake of metals and translocation to edible plant tissues; 2) speciation of metals in plants and their bioavailability to animals; 3) development of hyperaccumulator crops to phytomine and recycle metals in contaminated and naturally mineralized soils; and 4) potential methods to reduce food-chain transfer or toxicity of metals in organic resources and potential regulatory approaches to protect food safety and soil fertility. He conceived the concept of phytoextraction and phyto\/agro-mining in 1988 and led a cooperative project to develop a full nickel phytomining technology, from seed to recovery of Ni metal by pyrometallurgy. He conducted basic research to characterize the uptake, translocation, tolerance, and chemical speciation of Ni in several Odontarrhena Ni hyperaccumulator species.\u00a0 Since beginning his career in 1969, Dr. Chaney has 517 published papers (365 Peer Reviewed) based on his research. He has cooperated with the US-EPA, the US-FDA, the OMB and many States in preparing advice and regulations for utilization of biosolids and remediation of metal contaminated soils. He assisted the US-DoE-ARPA-E scientists evaluate potential for Ni agromining in the US using improved hyperaccumulator species for which seeds are not dispersed in the environment and to improve recovery of Ni from the biomass. He is an advisor to Botanickel in commercialization of Ni agromining in several nations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5720e07 elementor-view-stacked elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-absolute teo-team-popin elementor-shape-circle elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"5720e07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"rchaney\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d39e830 elementor-absolute elementor-widget__width-initial teo-team-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d39e830\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rufus-chaney-a923a442\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.botanickel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/picto-link.svg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-2266 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f89a1cf teo-col-team\" data-id=\"f89a1cf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" id=\"popin-maarts\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e53ebd9 teo-photo elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e53ebd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.botanickel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/mark-aarts-qnymxa4chjo6nhbok6rjw6ipb0zfx45iul3ntsyjko.png\" title=\"mark-aarts\" alt=\"mark-aarts\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 220px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 220\/220;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f90cd1c teo-name elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f90cd1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Professor Mark Aarts<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be206d4 teo-txt-truncate elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be206d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"txt-maarts\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Prof Aarts is Chair to research genetics of plant adaptation to the abiotic environment. Research topics are the role of photosynthesis in plant stress response and abiotic stress adaptation, and plant adaptation to heavy metal (exposure. Heading a research group of between 6 and 12 post-docs and PhD students. He is chair of the executive board of the Netherlands Plant Eco-phenotyping Centre, a national large-scale research infrastructure (npec.nl). He is involved in BSc\/MSc Plant Sciences, Plant Biotechnology, Biology, Biotechnology course teaching, course coordinator of the Plant Biotechnology course. The research interests of his group concern the evolution of plant adaptation to the abiotic environment. He is especially interested in two topics, understanding the (variation for) regulation of zinc homeostasis in plants and identification of the natural variation underlying efficiency of photosynthesis under the influence of environment. An extreme case of aberrant regulation of zinc homeostasis is found in Noccaea caerulescens, a zinc\/nickel\/cadmium hyperaccumulating relative of Arabidopsis, for which he and his group determined the whole genome sequence. Evolution of metal hyperaccumulation in <em>N. caerulescens<\/em> is studied using population genomics and quantitative genetics, supplemented with mutant screens and gene function analysis molecular genetics. Current focus is on the role of copy number variation in the rapid adaptation to high zinc and\/or cadmium exposure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27582ec elementor-view-stacked elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-absolute teo-team-popin elementor-shape-circle elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"27582ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"maarts\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af71786 elementor-absolute elementor-widget__width-initial teo-team-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"af71786\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/markaarts\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.botanickel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/picto-link.svg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-2266 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e0a0abe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e0a0abe\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a8f25f\" data-id=\"4a8f25f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-005b8bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"005b8bf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d94e0e2\" data-id=\"d94e0e2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8d298e elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"a8d298e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"modal\" class=\"modal\">\r\n    <div class=\"modal-content\">\r\n        <span class=\"close\">&times;<\/span>\r\n        <div id=\"targetDiv\">\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nuestro equipo Consejo Cient\u00edfico Asesor Professor Joseph Pollard Dr. A.
