Metal hyperaccumulation and bioremediation (2007, background): “Several reports on bioengineered plant tolerant to the presence of toxic levels of metals like Se (Berken et al. 2002), Cd (Kawashima et al. 2004), As (Lee et al. 2003a), Zn, Cr, Cu and Pb (Bennett et al. 2003), etc. have appeared in the literature in the recent years.”
Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils: Phytoremediation as a Potentially Promising Clean-Up Technology (2009, background): “Genetic engineering, on the other hand, has the potential to produce plant populations with superior traits for phytoremediation in a relatively short time and even transfer genes form organism that can not be crossed by conventional breeding methods (Berken et al., 2002).”
Phytoremediation—An Overview (2005, background): “, 2003), whereas current research focuses on a transgenic approach (Pilon-Smits and Pilon, 2002; Berken et al., 2002; Tong, Kneer, and Zhe, 2004).”
Selenium uptake, translocation, assimilation and metabolic fate in plants (2005, background): “Research dedicated to phytoremediation of such areas using either naturallyoccurring Se accumulator plants or transgenic plants with enhanced capacity to accumulate and tolerate Se has intensified in the past decade (Bañuelos 2001; Berken et al. 2002; Wu 2004; Van Huysen et al. 2004).”
Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting? (2011, background): “Bioengineered plants tolerant to the presence of toxic levels of metals like Cd [167], Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb [168], As [169] and Se [170] have been reported.”
