The nutrient movement in plants is regulated with Michaelis-Menten theory and gene regulations. The beneficial effect of heavy metals and other factors affecting positively interact in nutrient translocation in the plant. At the same time antagonistic effects influences in translocation of nutrients are also seen in the plants under soilless culture.The high concentration of nutrients is regulated in the plant system through Michaelis-Menten theory and genetic regulations. Factors such as water, pH, root formation and temperature positively interact in translocation of nutrients in the plant system. The antagonistic effect influences the influx of nutrients in the plant system. The fruitful heavy metals interact to mobilize the macro and micro nutrients in plant system under water based culture and substrate based culture. The antagonistic effect restricts the nutrient transport in the plant. The critical level of nutrient, critical level of heavy metals in nutrient uptake, critical level of antagonistic effect and comparative studies in suitable nutrient transport require investigations in water based culture and substrate based culture. The ideotype test may be required to screen in nutrient translocated plant in soilless culture.
