Potential for phytoextraction of copper, lead, and zinc by rice (Oryza sativa L.), soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.), and maize (Zea mays L.)

Phytoremediation Potential of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), Mesta (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), and Jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) in Arsenic-contaminated Soil

“…Open Access (Garbisu and Alkorta, 2001;Murakami and Ae, 2009). In addition, the phytoremediation of metal pollutants from the contaminated soil also requires rapidly growing plant species that have high biomass.…”

Influence of Soil Chemistry and Plant Physiology in the Phytoremediation of Cu, Mn, and Zn

“…In those situations, the selection of suitable plant species with the desired properties should be carefully considered (Murakami and Ae, 2009;Testiati et al, 2013). Studies performed under similar conditions are a useful strategy to compare the uptake characteristics of different species for different trace metals (Chehregani et al, 2009).…”

“…Phytoremediation of Cu-contaminated sites was also performed by Sedum plumbizincicola in agricultural fields (Wu et al, 2012b). Furthermore, maize (Zea mays), white mustard (Brassica alba) and rice (Oryza sativa) also show great potential for Cu phytoextraction (Brunetti et al, 2012;Murakami and Ae, 2009). Other plants that can be used in the phytoremediation Cu-contaminated sites are Euphorbia prostrate, Dyssodia setifolia, Parthenium incanum, and Zinnia acerosa (MachadoEstrada et al, 2012).…”

“…Some examples are Pennisetum americanum × Pennisetum purpureum, Paspalum atratum , Z. fabago (Boojar andTavakkoli, 2011), Betula pendula, Robinia pseudoacacia, Populus tremula (Van Nevel et al, 2011), Noea mucronta (Chehregani et al, 2009), Glycine max (Murakami and Ae, 2009) and Salix smithiana (Puschenreiter et al, 2013). Hyperaccumulation of Zn can also be observed.…”

A quick screening to assess the phytoextraction potential of cadmium and copper in Quercus pubescens plantlets

“…Therefore, selection and/or breeding of suitable plant genotypes based on biomass production, accumulation potential, root traits, growth rate, environmental suitability and metal resilience are required for their use in the remediation of heavy metal contamination (Wang et al 2014). In the last ten years, research was focused on highly productive crop plants, such as crops, maize, sunflower, rice (Komarek et al 2007, Murakami & Ae 2009), as well as on short rotation forest trees, i.e., willow and poplar (Fernàndez-Martínez et al 2014, Baldantoni et al 2014. Phytoextraction carried out with the use of other woody plants can be extremely interesting for the restoration of contaminated sites, where environmental conditions are unsuitable for growing energy plants, as well as for their longer reproductive cycles (Paoletti & Günthardt-Goerg 2006, Cocozza et al 2012.…”
