Worldwide, there are many large areas moderately contaminated with heavy metals and/or
organics that have not been remediated due to the high cost and technical drawbacks of …

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and low cost potential strategy for cleaning up of heavy
metals from contaminated soils. Selection of promising plant is an important approach for …

To evaluate the phytoremediation capability of some poplar and willow clones a hydroponic
screening for cadmium tolerance, accumulation and translocation was performed. Rooted …

We screened 20 different clones of willow and poplar species in hydroponic experiments for
their metal resistance and accumulation properties. Plants were exposed for 4 weeks either …

Phytotechnologies have been used worldwide to remediate and restore damaged
ecosystems, especially those caused by industrial byproducts leaching into rivers and other …

The world energy paradigm is changing from one based on petroleum to one based on a
mixture of energy platforms. This change is precipitated by a finite petroleum supply, an …

Variability of cadmium tolerance and distribution in plant organs was investigated in ten
selected poplar clones from different species, hybrids and genotypes. To this end, plants …

The interaction of cadmium (Cd) with photosynthesis was investigated in poplar (Populus x
canadensis Mönch., clone A4A, Populus nigra L., clone Poli) and willow (Salix alba L., clone …

Mining, industry, and agriculture have led to the accelerated release of metals into
ecosystems, causing serious environmental problems and posing a threat to human and …

The first part of the chapter reviews the genetic systems of Populus and Salix and how they
form the basis for the various domestication and conservation options available today. The …
