In recent years a boom can be seen in the literature dealing
with phytoremediation. This Volume contains detailed explanation of
the basic methods where plants are exploited in environmental
remediation. The chapters represent an excellent description of the
hottest topics in the field of phyto- and rhizoremediation.
The first part of Volume 9 will supply the readers with
up-to-date information concerning the necessary theoretical
background, both concerning removal of heavy metals from the
contaminated environment, and removal, detoxication and even
degradation of toxic organic contaminants. Until recently
phytoremediation has been discussed mostly in monographs dealing
with microbiological remediation methods as a separate chapter,
just to illustrate an additional possibility of use of biological
systems. This book intends to show especially the importance of
cooperation between plant and microorganisms, there is practically
no phytoremediation without rhizoremediation. Newest approaches
based on methods of molecular biology and genetic engineering are
described, as well as plant science achievements. The great
advantage of this volume is that the reader will find here in
addition to a survey of published data also a lot of original
findings, thus supplying an up-to-date review of this quickly
developing field of science.
