Non-GMO approach for the improvement of heavy metal accumulation and extraction of high yielding crop species for efficient phytoextraction of contaminated soil

Erika Nehnevajova

Some plants able to take up heavy metals from contaminated soils offer a possibility to clean up sites contaminated with heavy metals. Plants thus act as a solar driven pump, which can extract and concentrate heavy metals from the environment. Since most o ...
