The arsenic tolerance of plant species

There is a naturally occurring source of arsenic in the environment due to anthropogenic and geological processes (Zhao et al., 2010). It estimated that millions people around world, particularly South East Asia, have been poisoned by As polluted ground water food (Kile 2007, Zhu 2008; Pal 2009). increasing interest Phytoremediation, plant-based green method can be used clean up As-contaminated soil (Kertulis –Tartar Yong, possible harvest remove toxins from contaminated location harvesting plant tissues accumulated contaminants. In order ingest soil, plants use phosphate uptake pathways, i.e., apoplastic or symplastic mechanisms (shoots leaves). The effectiveness plant's phytoremediation process gauged measuring quantity moves roots shoots.
