Nitrilotriacetate- and citric acid-assisted phytoextraction of cadmium by Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj, Brassicaceae)
TLDR
Generally, following NTA and citric acid amendments, Cd concentration in shoots increased with soil Cd level, however, due to Cd toxicity, at the highest metal application rate both NTA treatments lowered Cd concentrations in the above-ground parts.About:

Chelate assisted phytoextraction of heavy metals from soil. Effect, mechanism, toxicity, and fate of chelating agents.
TL;DR: Phyto Extraction has possibly reached a turning point in which it should distance itself from chelate assisted phytoextraction and focus on alternative options, and a focus is laid on the chelating agents fate after application and on its toxicity to plants and soil microorganisms, as well as it degradation.

Field crops for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated land. A review
TL;DR: The phytoremediation efficiency of field crops is rarely high, but their greater growth potential compared with hyperaccumulators should be considered positively, in that they can establish a dense green canopy in polluted soil, improving the landscape and reducing the mobility of pollutants through water, wind erosion and water percolation.

TL;DR: This review suggests that the combination of Cd-tolerant Brassica cultivars and the application of soil amendments, along with proper agricultural practices, may be the most efficient means of the soil Cd phytoattenuation.

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.

Plant responses to abiotic stresses: heavy metal‐induced oxidative stress and protection by mycorrhization
TL;DR: The present results indicate that mycorrhization stimulated the phenolic defence system in the Paxillus-Pinus mycorRhizal symbiosis and Plants in certain mycor rhizal associations are less sensitive to cadmium stress than non-mycorrhizal plants.

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.

Phytoremediation of Lead-Contaminated Soils: Role of Synthetic Chelates in Lead Phytoextraction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential of adding chelates to Pb-contaminated soils to increase Pb accumulation in plants and found that the addition of chelate to a contaminated soil (total soil Pb 2500 mg kg-1) increased shoot Pb concentrations of corn (Zea mays L. cv. Fiesta) and pea (Pisum sativum L.cv. Sparkle) from less than 500 mg kg −1 to more than 10000 mg kg−1.
