Heavy metals (HM) are a unique class of toxicants since they cannot be broken down to non-
toxic forms. Concentration of these heavy metals has increased drastically, posing problems …

Phytoremediation has gained increased attention as a cost‐effective method for the
remediation of heavy metal‐contaminated sites. Because some plants possess a range of …

An ideal plant for environmental cleanup can be envisioned as one with high biomass
production, combined with superior capacity for pollutant tolerance, accumulation, and/or …

A ISTRA ("|" Metal hyperaccumulation is a characteristic present in over 500 plant species
and approximately in 0.2% of all angiosperms. Hyperaccumulators are model plants for …

Heavy metals, such as cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc, are essential in
trace amounts for growth by plants and other living organisms. However, in excessive …

This title focuses on the many aspects of the interaction between plants and heavy metals.
Not only it describes the effects of heavy metal toxicity on the plant cell and its organs but it …

This paper reviews key aspects of phytoremediation technology and the biological
mechanisms underlying phytoremediation. Current knowledge regarding the application of …

Current soil remediation technologies can be invasive and expensive, resulting in drastically
disturbed soils. The potential of green plants to remove contaminants in soils is actively …

The contamination of the environment with toxic metals has become a worldwide problem.
Metal toxicity affects crop yields, soil biomass and fertility. Soils polluted with heavy metals …

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 …
