Phytoremediation is an effective, green and economical technique. Different types of
phytoremediation methods can be used for the reduction of heavy metal contaminations …

Nickel is a transition element extensively distributed in the environment, air, water, and soil.
It may derive from natural sources and anthropogenic activity. Although nickel is ubiquitous …

Globally there are over 20 million ha of land contaminated by the heavy metal (loid) s As,
Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Se, with the present soil concentrations higher than the …

Hyperaccumulators are unusual plants that accumulate particular metals or metalloids in
their living tissues to levels that may be hundreds or thousands of times greater than is …

Many trace metals are essential micronutrients, but also potent toxins. Due to natural and
anthropogenic causes, vastly different trace metal concentrations occur in various habitats …

Continued industrialization, agricultural practices, and other anthropogenic activities lead to
heavy metals contamination. Heavy metals have severe toxic effects on plants, animals, and …

Phytoremediation is the use of plants to extract, immobilize, contain and/or degrade
contaminants from soil, water or air. It can be an effective strategy for on site and/or in situ …

The global industrialization and modernization have witnessed a rapid progress made in
agricultural production, along with the issue of soil heavy metal (HM) pollution, which has …

Trace metals such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are essential
for many biological processes in plant life cycles. However, in excess, they can be toxic and …

The main mechanism of plant tolerance is the avoidance of metal uptake, whereas the main
mechanism of hyperaccumulation is the uptake and neutralization of metals through specific …
