Metals and Metalloids in Soil-Plant-Water System: Phytophysiology and Remediation Techniques

Metals and Metalloids in Soil-Plant-Water System examines the impact of metal/metalloid contamination on the plant life cycle, as well as microbes present in soil. Highlighting uptake and translocation, the book also examines antioxidant, photosynthesis and growth characteristics of plants grown in metal contaminated soil. Beginning with an introduction to the different sources of soil and water pollution, chapters assess the environmental cytotoxicity pollution impact on plants, as well as how the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in plant tissues is affected. The book also discusses various soil remediation methodologies, including the potential applications of metal oxidizing microbes and nanomaterials. Metals and Metalloids in Soil-Plant-Water System is an essential read to researchers and students interested in plant physiology, soil science, environmental science and agriculture.
