Phytoremediation:
Methods and Reviews (Methods in Biotechnology) Humana Press; 1 edition ( Parts I
and II discuss detailed protocols for achieving several
different goals of phytoremediation, including enhancing
contaminant degradation, uptake, and tolerance by
plants; exploiting plant diversity for phytoremedation;
modifying contaminant availability; and experimentally
analyzing phytoremediation potential. Parts III and IV
examine a variety of progressive techniques for
phytoremediation and explore their implementation and
success on a global scale. This cutting-edge volume
highlights the myriad of contexts in which
phytoremediation can be applied, and energizes new
research by describing ways in which barriers to success
have been recently overcome. |

Biochemical
Mechanisms of Detoxification in Higher Plants :
Basis of Phytoremediation byGeorge
Kvesitadze (Author), Gia Khatisashvili (Author), Tinatin
Sadunishvili (Author), Jeremy J. Ramsden (Author);
Hardcover Springer;
1 edition (March 1, 2006) Plants
play a key role in purifying the biosphere of the toxic
effects of industrial activity. This book shows how
systematic application of the results of investigations
into the metabolism of xenobiotics (foreign, often toxic
substances) in plants could make a vastly increased
contribution to planetary well-being. Deep physiological
knowledge gained from an accumulation of experimental
data enables the great differences between the
detoxifying abilities of different plants for compounds
of different chemical nature to be optimally exploited.
Hence planting could be far more systematically adapted
to actual environmental needs than is actually the case
at present. The book could form the basis of specialist
courses in universities and polytechnics devoted to
environmental management, and advanced courses in plant
physiology and biochemistry, for botany and integrative
biology students. Fundamental plant physiology and
biochemistry from the molecular level to whole plants
and ecosystems are interwoven in a powerful and natural
way, making this a unique contribution to the field. |

cleanup."
The International Journal of Phytoremediation is the first journal devoted to the publication of current laboratory and field research describing the use of plant systems to remediate contaminated environments. Phytoremediation refers to a diverse group of green technologies that use either naturally occurring or genetically engineered plants to decontaminate polluted air, soil, and water. Phytoremediation technologies currently fall into the following five categories:
