Development of transgenic yellow poplar for mercury phytoremediation
Article Abstract:
Phytoremediation is the use of plants for the rehabilitation of polluted environments. Plants are an ecologically solid method for the recovery of habitats from anthropogenic contamination. Several species of plants can produce high levels of organic compound degredation or heavy metal hyperaccumulation. Phytoremediation provides a natural answer to the recovery of polluted sites. It also provides soil surface stabilization.
