Phytoremediation: A Novel Strategy for the Removal of Toxic Metals from the Environment Using Plants
David E. Salt,Michael J. Blaylock,Nanda P. B. A. Kumar,Viatcheslav. Dushenkov,Burt D. Ensley,Ilan Chet,Ilya Raskin +6 more
TL;DR: Biological mechanisms of toxic metal uptake, translocation and resistance as well as strategies for improving phytoremediation are also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Accumulation of Pb in Indian Mustard by Soil-Applied Chelating Agents
Michael J. Blaylock,David E. Salt,Slavik Dushenkov,Olga Zakharova,Christopher D. Gussman,Yoram Kapulnik,Burt D. Ensley,Ilya Raskin +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) was used to demonstrate the capability of plants to accumulate high tissue concentrations of Pb when grown in Pb-contaminated soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
In planta expression of A. cellulolyticus Cel5A endocellulase reduces cell wall recalcitrance in tobacco and maize.
Roman Brunecky,Michael J. Selig,Todd B. Vinzant,Michael E. Himmel,David J. Lee,Michael J. Blaylock,Stephen R. Decker +6 more
TL;DR: The glycoside hydrolase family 5 endocellulase, E1 (Cel5A), from Acidothermus cellulolyticus was transformed into both Nicotiana tabacum and Zea mays with expression targeted to the cell wall under a constitutive promoter, and transformed plants were clearly more digestible than WT, requiring lower pretreatment severity to achieve comparable conversion levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoremediation of Uranium-Contaminated Soils: Role of Organic Acids in Triggering Uranium Hyperaccumulation in Plants
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of various soil amendments on U desorption from soil to soil solution, studied the physicodynamic characteristics of U uptake and accumulation in plants, and developed techniques to trigger U hyperac cumulation in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
EDTA and Pb-EDTA accumulation in Brassica juncea grown in Pb-amended soil
Armona L. Epstein,Christopher D. Gussman,Michael J. Blaylock,Uri Yermiyahu,Jianwei W. Huang,Yoram Kapulnik,Cindy S. Orser +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between EDTA soil treatment, plant transpiration, and plant accumulation of Pb and EDTA was evaluated for Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) plants.
