The present work deals with the phytotoxicity and the genotoxicity of three heavy metals,
namely copper, lead, and zinc on Medicago sativa seeds germination. Indeed, the role of …

In situ bioremediation processes are important for control of pollution and clean-up of
contaminated sites. The study and implementation of such processes can be designed …

Soil contamination with heavy metals is a constraint for plant establishment and
development for which phytoremediation may be a solution, since rhizobacteria may …

Heavy metal pollution has become a major environmental concern in recent years, and its
contamination of edible crops and yield is another major factor to consider. As a result, this …

This research was performed to evaluate physico-chemical properties of farmland soil
nearby the magnesite mine site. Unexpectedly, few physico-chemical properties were …

The nickel and zinc tolerant plant growth promoting Bradyrhizobium sp.(vigna) RM8 was
isolated from nodules of greengram, grown in metal contaminated Indian soils. The plant …

Atriplex lentiformis is a halophytic plant species used for desalination and phytoremediation.
The plant tolerates abiotic constraints, such as salinity, drought, and toxic metals. It is also …

Microorganisms are used to alleviate heavy metal stress in plants cultivated in contaminated
fields. However, the relevant mechanisms have been rarely explored. The goal of this study …

Population explosion in the last decades together with global industrialization has caused
heavy-metal contamination of air, water and soil, resulting in diverse incurable effects on …

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the phytotoxic effect of heavy metals
such as Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn on the growth of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa): on the seed …
