Transgenic Fiber Crops for Phytoremediation of Metals and Metalloids
Original language description
This chapter summarizes the use of transgenic fiber crops for phytoremediation. Most cultivars of flax and linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) are suitable candidates for phytoextraction of the pollutants from contaminated soils. Flax has been therefore gaining increasing attention for potential use in phytoremediation of soils polluted with cadmium, due to its cadmium-accumulating capability and cadmium tolerance. Also hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) or cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) belonging to fiber crops are known to be good chelators. Nevertheless flax has been the only fiber crop genetically modified to improve its phytoremediation potential to date. Transgenic flax plants contain and express a binding domain for heavy metals (HMs), for example the gene of yeast (CUP) or mammalian metallothionein (alpha MT1a) with high affinity to HMs was used for this purpose. This chapter deals with transgenes that were used for flax transformation, observed results of transformations, and the possible use of transformed plants for reclamation and phytoremediation of HM strained soil.
