With the advent of the industrial revolution , the biosphere has
been continuously polluted with a myriad of contaminants that
urgently need global attention. In this perspective, most of the
genera of the plant family Brassicaceae (Crucifereae or the mustard
family) are a significant part of the plants- and associated
microbes-based strategies adopted for the cleanup of varied
contaminants from environmental compartments. Important genus such
as Alyssum, Arabidopsis, Brassica and Thlaspi from Brassicaceae
which, besides acting as an attractive genetic model,
well-represent the metal hyperaccumulation among approximately 0.2%
of all angiosperms and thus, play a key role in the
phytoremediation technology. This book i) provides an exhaustive
evaluation of the current status of contaminants
(metals/metalloids)-addition to varied environmental compartments
and its consequences, ii) offers comprehensive and state-of-the-art
information on the significance of the plants from the family
Brassicaceae in solving environmental pollution issues, iii)
examines the physiological, biochemical and molecular-genetic
strategies adopted by the plants from Brassicaceae for the
remediation of and tolerance to varied environmental contaminants,
and iv) supplies a broad reference to the field of environmental
science and related disciplines. As a pioneer work and significant
addition to the Environmental Pollution book series, the current
volume promises to be a useful asset for researchers, students,
other academicians and policy makers involved in sustainable
remediation of varied environmental compartments.
