Soil contamination with heavy metals (HMs) is a serious concern for the developing world
due to its non-biodegradability and significant potential to damage the ecosystem and …

Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic contaminant that is ubiquitously present in the ecosystem and
poses severe environmental issues, including hazards to soil-plant systems. This review …

Lead (Pb) toxicity imposes several morphological and biochemical changes in plants grown
in Pb-contaminated soils. Application of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in …

To investigate the pivotal physiological processes modulating lead (Pb) tolerance capacities
of poplars, the saplings of two contrasting poplar species, Populus× canescens with high Pb …

Cadmium (Cd) is a widely distributed heavy metal pollutant that is detrimental to growth and
development of plants. The secretion of indole-3-acetic acid is one of the defense …

Background and aims Chelates like ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) have frequently
been applied for facilitating lead (Pb) phytoextraction and cleaning contaminated soils but …

This study evaluated the effects of the exogenous application of ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid (EDTA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and iron sulfate (FeSO 4) upon the phytochemical …

Purpose Although the combined plant-biochar remediation in improving soil contaminated
by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is considered efficient (Singha and Pandey in …

The presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils can upset the natural balance and
increase the risk of PTE incorporation into the food chain. The use of composite biochar with …

Exogenous addition of IAA has the potential to improve the metal tolerance and
phytostabilization of plants, but these effects have not been systematically investigated in …
