One strategy to mitigate plant heavy metal contamination and reduce plant toxicity is phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is a method that uses plants to remove, degrade, or immobilize pollutants from the environment, including heavy metals. Specific hyperaccumulating plants can uptake heavy metals from the soil through their roots and accumulate them in their tissues. Once the plants have absorbed the heavy metals, they can be harvested and disposed of properly to prevent them from re-entering the environment. This process can help reduce the levels of heavy metals in the soil and reduce toxicity in plants. Additionally, phytoremediation can be a sustainable and cost-effective method for cleaning up contaminated sites.
