Arsenic (As) is one of the most common inorganic pollutants; unfortunately, it also toxic and therefore a cause great concern for health risks that could result from it. Removing arsenic soil using phytoremediation approaches an effective strategy, several studies demonstrate ability Cannabis sativa (TSN 19109, hemp) to tolerate this harmful contaminant. The aim work was identify best experimen...

Environmental pollution by heavy metals has become a serious problem in the world. Phytoextraction, which is one of the plant-based technologies, has attracted the most attention for the bioremediation of soils polluted with these contaminants. The aim of this study was to determine whether the multiple-tolerant bacterium, Brevibacterium casei MH8a isolated from the heavy metal-contaminated rhi...

The remediation of metal-contaminated soils by phytoextraction depends on plant growth and plant metal accessibility. Soil microorganisms can affect the accumulation of metals by plants either by directly or indirectly stimulating plant growth and activity or by (im)mobilizing and/or complexing metals. Understanding the intricate interplay of metal-accumulating plants with their rhizosphere mic...

For enhanced phytoextraction, mobilization of heavy metals (HMs) from the soil solid phase to soil pore water is an important process. A pot incubation experiment mimicking field conditions was conducted to investigate the performance of three soil additives in mobilizing HMs from contaminated paddy soil (Gleyi-Stagnic Anthrosol): the [S, S]-isomer of ethylenediamine disuccinate (EDDS) with app...

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) can improve plant stress tolerance by promoting growth and affecting element accumulation. Due to its ability accumulate high Cd, Zn, Ni concentrations in shoots, Noccaea caerulescens is considered a promising candidate for phytoextraction the field. However, of DSEs trace (TE) with N. has not yet been studied. The aim this study was therefore determine five DSE s...

Soil contamination by metals threatens both the environment and human health hence requires remedial actions. The conventional approach of removing polluted soils replacing them with clean (excavation) is very costly for low-value sites not feasible on a large scale. In this scenario, phytoremediation emerged as promising cost-effective environmentally-friendly technology to render less bioavai...

Vetiveria zizaniodes (vetiver) is commonly known for its effectiveness in soil and sediment erosion control. It can tolerate to extreme soil conditions and produce a high biomass even growing in contaminated areas. Zea mays (maize) can also produce a very high biomass with a fast growth rate and possesses some degree of metal tolerance. A greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the feasib...

Biomass production, leaf number and area, photosynthetic and dark respiration rates, leaf concentration of photosynthetic pigments, nitrate reductase activity, as well as cadmium concentrations in leaves, stem, and roots were measured in poplar clones PE 4/68, B-229, 665, and 45/51. Plants were grown hydroponically under controlled conditions and treated with two different cadmium (Cd) concentr...
