Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals: Physiological and Molecular Mechanisms (2009, background): “Phytostabilization, though most effective at sites having fine-textured soils with high organic matter content, can treat a wide range of surface contamination (Cunningham et al., 1995; Berti & Cunningham, 2000).”
Phytostabilization of Mine Tailings in Arid and Semiarid Environments—An Emerging Remediation Technology (2007, background): “…hence toxicity) will decrease as plants facilitate the precipitation of metals to less soluble forms, for example, metal sulfides or metal carbonates, complex metals with organic products, sorb metals onto root surfaces, and accumulate metals into root tissues (Cunningham et al. 1995; Wong 2003).”
Biotechnological Applications of Bacterial Endophytes (2014, background): “phytoremediation [126]; in this case it is suggested that the degradation is carried out by the plant but the activity of the microbes on the root is then usually ignored.”
Applications of free living plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (2004, background): “Cunningham and Berti 1993; Cunningham et al. 1995; Cunningham and Ow 1996.”
Effects of proline on copper transport in rice seedlings under excess copper stress (2004, background): “Phytoremediation, defined as the use of plants to extract pollutants from the contaminated environment [1,2], is being considered as a promising technology for the recovery of soils contaminated with heavy metals.”
Basic concepts on heavy metal soil bioremediation (2003, background): “This topic of phytoremediation has recently been reviewed by the authors in more detail elsewhere (Alkorta and Garbisu, 2001; Garbisu and Alkorta, 2001; Garbisu et al., 2002).”
Metal hyperaccumulation in plants: Biodiversity prospecting for phytoremediation technology (2003, background): “…the vertical migration of contaminants into groundwater; and physically and chemically immobilizes contaminants by root sorption and by chemical fixation with various soil amendments (Cunningham et al. 1995; Salt et al. 1995a; Flathman and Lanza, 1998; Berti and Cunningham, 2000; Schnoor, 2000).”
Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting? (2011, background): “However, hyperaccumulators have been later believed to have limited potential of phytoremediation because most of them are metal selective, have not been found for all elements of interest, can be used in their natural habitats only, and, above all, have small biomass, shallow root systems and slow ”
Role of soil microbes in the rhizospheres of plants growing on trace metal contaminated soils in phytoremediation. (2005, background): “Phytoremediation must be considered as a long-term strategy [16].”
Recent Advances in Petroleum Microbiology (2003, background): “Plant root exudates can supply carbon and nitrogen sources for microbial growth (12, 486), raising the densities of rhizospheric bacteria by orders of magnitude more than the population in the surrounding soil (12, 138, 536), and enzymes may be produced that degrade organic contaminants (69, 393, 55”
Bioremediation and Phytoremediation of Pesticides: Recent Advances (2009, background): “…to remediation in several ways, by reducing the leaching of contaminants, aerating soil, phytodegradation/transformation, phytovolatilization, evapotranspiration, and rhizoremediation (Amos & Younger, 2003; Chang et al., 2005; Cunningham et al., 1995; Macek et al., 1998; Newman & Reynolds, 2004).”
Phytoremediation in Wetland Ecosystems: Progress, Problems, and Potential (2002, background): “Numerous informative overviews of phytoremediation actions have been developed and address both wetlands and nonwetlands plant species (Cunningham and Berti, 1993; Brown, 1995; Cunningham et al., 1995; Moffat, 1995; Salt et al., 1995; Raskin, 1996; Salt et al., 1998; Macek et al., 2000; Dietz and Sc”
The potential contribution of plant growth-promoting bacteria to reduce environmental degradation – A comprehensive evaluation (2012, background): “no advantage in phytoextraction, compared to the high potential of genetically unmodified plant species (Cunningham et al., 1995; Ernst, 2005; Pilon-Smits, 2005).”
Metal hyperaccumulation and bioremediation (2007, background): “…technology termed as phytoremediation an ecofriendly and scientific approach to remove, extract or inactivate metal ions in the soil using plants (Chaney 1983, 1993, Cunningham and Berti 1993, Baker et al. 1994, Raskin 1996, Cunningham et al. 1995, Lasat 2002, McGrath 1998, Salt et al. 1998).”
