Transgenic Approaches to Enhance Phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils
Original language description
Bioremediation using living plant species, referred to as phytoremediation, covers several different strategies, of which phytoremediation of metal contaminated soils employs phytoextraction, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization and phytovolatization. Although, a number of metal hyperaccumulating plant species have been identified, they have little significance in direct application in phytoextraction because of their slow growth, low biomass and intense interaction with a specific habitat. Efforts are being directed to obtain better molecular insights into metallomics and physiology of hyperaccumulating plants, which highlights candidate genes suitable for phytoremediation. Transgenic approaches employed to promote phytoextraction of metals involved implementation of heterologous metal transporters, centrally important in metal uptake, compartmentalization and/or translocation to organs, improved production of intracellular metal-detoxifying ligands and (over)production of eligible enz
