However, in the case of high concentrations of metals in soil, their accumulation is not always considered good or necessary, especially in medicinal plants or agricultural crops. Nowadays, phytoremediation, biotechnology using plants for cleaning up the environment, has become widely applied. Its development can contribute to re-exploitation of soils that have laid waste due to their contamination. Similarly, plants able to tolerate elevated metal concentrations without their translocation and accumulation in upper parts can grow on contaminated soils not threatening food chain. This book presents and reviews research on the use of phytoremediation in regard to plant application in stressful conditions.Botanical Research and PracticesEvaluation of heavy metal-induced stress in plantsPlantsEffect of heavy metals onPlantsEffect of stress onPhytoremediationPlantsEffect of heavy metals on.PlantsEffect of stress on.Phytoremediation.571.9/2Kadukova Jana1871766Kavulicova Jana1871767MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973945703321Phytoremediation and stress4480701UNINA
