- Title
Phytoremediation of Pollutants: Applicability and Future Perspective.
- Authors
Bartucca, Maria Luce; Cerri, Martina; Forni, Cinzia
- Abstract
Environmental pollution is a global issue since it is spreading worldwide, affecting entire ecosystems. In the past 10-20 years, plant researchers have developed a sophisticated understanding of how plants responding to stress caused by exposure to pollutants alter their gene expression. To augment plant survival strategies and their remediation efficiency, we can apply microbial-assisted phytoremediation, biostimulants, or genetic engineering strategies. However, plants alone are not always capable of effectively responding to heavy environmental contamination, and often phytoremediation efficiency, determined primarily on closed and controlled environments and on a single pollutant, is species specific.
