Phytotechnologies

<p><strong>Phytotechnologies: Remediation of Environmental Contaminants</strong> highlights the use of natural and inherent traits of plants and associated microbes to exclude accumulate or metabolize a variety of contaminants with the goal of efficiently and sustainably decontaminating the biosphere from unwanted hazardous compounds. Contributed by an international team of authors the book ensures a balance between theory and practice without compromising the basic conceptual framework of <i>Phytotechnologies</i>.</p><p>Divided into three major sections the book: </p><ul> <li>Introduces contaminants and contaminated sites and also highlights the significance of genus <i>Brassica </i>and vetiver grass species for varied environmental contaminants' remediation</li> <li>Presents an exhaustive exploration of potential strategies for enhancing plants and associated microbes-mediated environmental contaminants' remediation</li> <li>Overviews major physiological biochemical and genetic-molecular mechanisms responsible for plant tolerance and adaptation to varied environmental contaminants</li> </ul><p>A one-stop source of cutting edge answers and time-saving access <b>Phytotechnologies: Remediation of Environmental Contaminants</b> is a common platform for engineers environmental microbiologists plant physiologists and molecular biologists with the common aim of sustainable solutions to vital environmental issues. </p><p>In short the book provides a conceptual overview of ecosystems approaches and phytotechnologies and their cumulative significance in relation to various environmental problems and potential solutions.</p>
