Heavy-Metal Phytostabilizing Potential ofAgrostis castellanaBoiss. & Reuter

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2015
The soils of many abandoned mine sites in the central region of Spain are heavily polluted with a number of different metals. Having frequently found Agrostis castellana growing at these old mine sites, this study was designed to assess its remediation capacity for this type of setting.

Challenges in Reducing Phytotoxicity of Metals in Soils Affected by Non-Ferrous Smelter Operations

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2022
Lime is one of the effective agents for reducing the phytoavailability of metals in contaminated acidic soils. However, previous studies have shown that lime alone cannot reduce metal phytotoxicity to the desired extent in such soils.

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Phytostabilization—Management Strategy for Stabilizing Trace Elements in Contaminated Soils [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2017
Contamination of soil by copper (Cu) has become a serious problem throughout the world, causing the reduction of agricultural yield and harmful effects on human health by entering the food chain. A glasshouse pot experiment was designed to evaluate the potential use of halloysite as an immobilizing agent in the aided phytostabilization of Cu ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 390-405, March 2026.
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

Nitrogen Economy Strategies Define Distinct Functional Groups of Genotypes in a Miscanthus sinensis Progeny

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Substantial intergenotypic variation in nitrogen uptake and recycling traits was observed in a M. sinensis progeny. This variability defined three functional groups with contrasting nitrogen‐use strategies, offering a framework for selecting ideotypes tailored to different environments while maintaining high biomass production under nitrogen‐limited ...
