Phytotechnologies

Contributed by an international team of authors, this book assesses the current state of the science and application of phytotechnologies around the globe, and overviews major environmental contaminants, contaminated sites and the significant role of plant genera, including Brassica and vetiver grass species, for the remediation of varied environmental contaminants. This book presents an exhaustive exploration of potential strategies for enhancing varied environmental contaminants¿ remediation and also critically discusses major physiological, biochemical, and genetic-molecular mechanisms responsible for plant tolerance/adaptation to important environmental contaminants.
