Heavy metal pollution in soil is a global problem with serious impacts on human health and
ecological security. Phytoextraction in phytoremediation, in which plants uptake and …

Plants take up metals, including the essential micronutrients [iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc
(Zn), and manganese (Mn)] and the toxic heavy metal cadmium (Cd), from soil and …

A relatively small group of hyperaccumulator plants is capable of sequestering heavy metals
in their shoot tissues at high concentrations. In recent years, major scientific progress has …

Phytoremediation is an economically viable green technology that utilizes hyperaccumulator
plants to remove heavy metals (HM) from the soil. Hyperaccumulators are adept at …

Heavy metal toxicity is one of the major concerns for agriculture and health. Accumulation of
toxic heavy metals at high concentrations in edible parts of crop plants is the primary cause …

Heavy metal (HM)-accumulating herbaceous and woody plants are employed for
phytoremediation. To develop improved strategies for enhancing phytoremediation …

Most of the heavy metals (HMs), and metals/metalloids are released into the nature either by
natural phenomenon or anthropogenic activities. Being sessile organisms, plants are …

Natural and anthropogenic causes are continually growing sources of metals in the
ecosystem; hence, heavy metal (HM) accumulation has become a primary environmental …

Environmental contamination of heavy metals is now becoming increasingly a concern and
a significant problem due to its harmful effects worldwide. The plant-meditated approach is …

Plants are able to extract metal (loid) contaminants from the soil or water through their roots
and translocate them to harvestable aerial shoots. Of late, this plant potential has been used …
