TLDR
Overall, the macrophyte P. pectinatus can be considered a suitable plant for monitoring environments contaminated by copper, based on results of copper accumulation in the plant, decrease in pigment concentration and presence of chlorosis and necrosis.About:

A review on adsorbents for treatment of water and wastewaters containing copper ions
TL;DR: In this article, modified biopolymer adsorbents on the basis of polysaccharides (derived from chitin, chitosan, and starch) have been proposed as new materials for the removal of Cu2+ ions from wastewater.

Copper: uptake, toxicity and tolerance in plants and management of Cu-contaminated soil
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the availability and uptake of copper by plants is presented, and the toxic effects of excess Cu on seed germination, plant growth and development, photosynthesis, and antioxidant response in plants are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocontrol of phytobacteria with bacteriophage cocktails
TL;DR: Although phage cocktails are considered as a plausible biocontrol strategy of phytobacteria, more research needs to be done to understand the complex interaction between phages and bacteria in the plant environment, and to overcome the technical obstacles.

Effects of metals on enzyme activity in plants
F. Van Assche,Herman Clijsters +1 more
TL;DR: The induction of enzymes and metal-specific changes in isoperoxidase pattern can be used as diagnostic criteria to evaluate the phytotoxicity of soils, contaminated by several metals.
