Phytoextraction makes use of trace element-accumulating plants that concentrate the
pollutants in their tissues. Pollutants can be then removed by harvesting plants. The success …

Plant–bacteria partnerships have been extensively studied and applied to improve crop
yield. In addition to their application in agriculture, a promising field to exploit plant–bacteria …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Phytoremediation shows potential for remediating mine tailing sites contaminated with
heavy metals. Our aim was to isolate, characterize, and assess the potential of endophytic …

Various biotic and abiotic stress factors affect the growth and productivity of crop plants.
Particularly, the climatic and/or heavy metal stress influence various processes including …

Microbe-assisted phytoremediation has been considered as a promising measure for the
remediation of heavy metal-polluted soils. In this study, a metal-tolerance and plant growth …

Bioremediation is a technique that uses microbial metabolism to remove pollutants. Various
techniques and strategies of bioremediation (eg, phytoremediation enhanced by endophytic …

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) may help reducing the toxicity of heavy metals to
plants in polluted environments. In this work the effects of inoculating metal resistant and …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of metal mobilizing plant-growth
beneficial bacterium Phyllobacterium myrsinacearum RC6b on plant growth and Cd, Zn and …

Environmental contamination is increasing day by day because of increase in population,
industrialization and urbanization. It is a potential threat to human health. The risk of adverse …
