Transgenic approaches to improve phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils.
Original language description
Use of plants to remediate soil contaminated with heavy metals has received an increasing attention during the last decade. Bioremediation using living plant species, referred to as phytoremediation, covers several different strategies, of which bioremediation employs phytoextraction, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization and phytovolatization. High efficiency, low-cost and easy operation makes phytoremediation a potent alternative to current physico-chemical methods. Although, a number of metal hyperaccumulating plant species have been identified, they have little significance in direct application because of their slow growth, low biomass and intense interaction with a specific habitat. The phytoremediation potential of plants with well-established agricultural properties and high biomass yield can be substantially improved by genetic manipulations, conducted to promote accumulation of metal species in aboveground biomass or their conversion to nontoxic or volatile forms.
