Increase in Phytoextraction Potential by Genome Editing and Transformation: A Review

Plants, 2021
Soil metal contamination associated with productive activities is a global issue. Metals are not biodegradable and tend to accumulate in soils, posing potential risks to surrounding ecosystems and human health.

Evaluation of Chelating Agents Used in Phytoextraction by Switchgrass of Lead Contaminated Soil

Plants, 2022
Soil lead (Pb) contamination is a recognized environmental and global health problem. Phytoextraction of Pb using switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a second-generation biofuel crop, is typically enhanced by soil chelation.

Biochemical Adaptations of Zea mays L. to Abiotic Stress: A Focus on Drought, Salinity, and Heavy Metals [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.), one of the most significant cereal crops in the world, is very susceptible to abiotic stresses that include drought, salinity, and heavy metal toxicity, among others, all of which pose a risk to food and nutrition security in the face of climate change.

A Review of Research on the Use of Selected Grass Species in Removal of Heavy Metals

Agronomy, 2022
Soil and air pollution are main problems posing a serious threat to human health. Traditional physical and chemical soil remediation methods affect the soil ecosystem and are rather costly. Since the main purpose of soil remediation is not only to remove

Phytoextraction of Cr(VI) from soil using Portulaca oleracea [PDF]

, 2013
Cr(VI) represents an environmental challenge in both soil and water as it is soluble and bioavailable over a wide range of pH. In previous investigations, Portulaca oleracea (a plant local to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)) demonstrated particular ...

Long-term field metal extraction by pelargonium:phytoextraction efficiency in relation to plant maturity [PDF]

, 2011
The long length of periods required for effective soil remediation via phytoextraction constitutes a weak point that reduces its industrial use. However, these calculated periods are mainly based on short-term and/or hydroponic controlled experiments ...

Changes in metal availability, desorption kinetics and speciation in contaminated soils during repeated phytoextraction with the Zn/Cd hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola [PDF]

, 2016
Phytoextraction is one of the most promising technologies for the remediation of metal contaminated soils. Changes in soil metal availability during phytoremediation have direct effects on removal efficiency and can also illustrate the interactive ...

Phosphate‐Assisted Phytoextraction in As‐Contaminated Soil

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2004
AbstractIn this paper, the effect of phosphate on As phytoextraction was examined. The effect of phosphate on As dissolution, the As uptake of plants, the internal plant translocation, and phytotoxic effect were investigated. Lupine plants were grown on As‐contaminated soil collected from an industrial site containing 670 mg/kg As and were treated with
