Basic and applied research have unequivocally demonstrated that selected plant species possess the genetic potential to accumulate, degrade, metabolize and immobilize a wide range of contaminants. The main focus of this volume is on the recent advances of technologies using green plants for remediation of various metals and metalloids. Topics include biomonitoring of heavy metal pollution, amendments of higher uptake of toxic metals, transport of heavy metals in plants, and toxicity mechanisms. Further chapters discuss agro-technological methods for minimizing pollution while improving soil quality, transgenic approaches to heavy metal remediation and present protocols for metal remediation via in vitro root cultures.Soil biology ;v.35.PhytoremediationHyperaccumulator plantsSoil remediationPhytoremediation.Hyperaccumulator plants.Soil remediation.628.1/683Gupta Dharmendra Kumar1761706MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910737300703321Plant-based remediation processes4201307UNINA
