Worldwide, there are many large areas moderately contaminated with heavy metals and/or
organics that have not been remediated due to the high cost and technical drawbacks of …

Phytoextraction, as the most commonly used technique in phytoremediation, involves the
utilization of plant-hyperaccumulators for the absorption pollutants (primarily heavy metals) …

A highly efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method is needed for the
molecular study of model tree species such as hybrid poplar 84K (Populus alba× P …

Purpose This work was planned for providing a useful screening tool for the selection of
Populus alba clones suitable for phytoremediation techniques. To this aim, we investigated …

Plants are constantly faced with biotic or abiotic stress, which affects their growth and
development. Yield reduction due to biotic and abiotic stresses on economically important …

Genetic engineering of trees to improve productivity, wood quality, and resistance to biotic
and abiotic stresses has been the primary goal of the forest biotechnology community for …

Poplar is a good candidate for phytoremediation purposes because of its rapid growth,
extensive root system, and ease of propagation and transformation; however its tolerance to …

To induce plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis, a binary expression vector system
was constructed containing a heat shock-inducible FRT/FLP system. In this system, the …

Phytoremediation is the bioremediation of contaminated soils and waters by using plants
and their associated microorganisms. Phytoremediation of heavy metal (HM)-contaminated …

The productivity of plantation forests is essential to meet the future world demand for wood
and wood products in a sustainable fashion and in a manner that preserves natural stands …
