The concentrations in plant parts depend both on intrinsic and extrinsic factors and vary
greatly for different species and for different metals. Responses by plant species to exposure …

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

The use of plants in environmental remediation has been called “green remediation,”“
phytoremediation,”“botanical bioremediation,”“phytoextraction,” etc. Phytoremediation …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

▪ Abstract Contaminated soils and waters pose a major environmental and human health
problem, which may be partially solved by the emerging phytoremediation technology. This …

Toxic metal pollution of waters and soils is a major environmental problem, and most
conventional remediation approaches do not provide acceptable solutions. The use of …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Some higher plant species have developed heavy metal tolerance strategies which enable
them to survive and reproduce in highly metal-contaminated soils. We have investigated …

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 …

Cadmium (Cd), a widely concerned heavy metal, is toxic to humans and ecosystems. In this
paper, a Cd-polluted town in southeast China was selected to estimate the Cd emissions of …
