TL;DR: Several studies on phytotoxic effects caused by organic xenobiotics and their removal from water by macrophytes have already been performed to evaluate the usefulness of these plants for phytoremed...

TL;DR: Biosorbents have been recently gaining importance, with an increasing number of publications on their environmental applications, especially for removal of organic pollutants from aqueous media as discussed by the authors, and they have been used in a variety of applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, microcosm constructed wetland systems established with a matrix of light expanded clay aggregates (LECA) and Typha spp. or Phragmites australis were used to evaluate their ability to remove atenolo...

TL;DR: Wheat roots appear to be more sensitive to oxidative stress derived from excess soil Mn and promote Mn translocation and storage in shoot vacuoles, probably in Mn and P complexes, as a detoxification strategy for improvement in wheat production, in acidic soils.

TL;DR: The physiological response to enhanced levels of reactive oxygen species in the presence of Cd included an increase in guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxIDase and catalase activities, but those enzymes were not always enhanced in a similar manner in both cultures.
