Abstract Phytoremediation of metals is rapidly developing as a cost‐effective and environmentally friendly solution for cleaning up heavy‐metal‐contaminated sites. The most important requirements for effective phytoremediation are fast‐growing, high biomass plants that uptake and accumulate large amounts of toxic metals in their aboveground harvestable parts. A relatively small group of hyperaccumulator plants sequesters metals in their shoot tissues at high concentrations. In recent years, major scientific progress has been made in understanding the physiological mechanisms of metal uptake and transport in these plants. The majority of metal hyperaccumulators are slow growing and typically have low biomass, so bioengineering of nonaccumulators that have high biomass is essential for more effective phytoremediation. Biotechnology offers the opportunity to transfer hyperaccumulator phenotypes into fast‐growing, high biomass plants that could be highly effective in phytoremediation. However, comprehensive knowledge of the genetics of metal tolerance and accumulation is essential to design transgenic plants capable of phytoremediation. After an initial focus on plants with an immediate promise of application, research is now being directed at understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in heavy metal hyperaccumulation in plants. Once the rate‐limiting steps for uptake, translocation, and detoxification of metals in hyperaccumulator plants are identified, more informed construction of transgenic plants could become rather routine, which will help tremendously in more effective use of phytoremediation technology for cleaning up heavy‐metal‐contaminated sites.

Environmental pollution, including pollution of urban soils by heavy metals causes serious environmental concern around the world. Heavy metals accumulate relatively quickly in soil but their removal rate is very slow. Hyperaccumulator plants help cleanse the environment from heavy metals. Phytoremediation is cleansing of soils contaminated with heavy metals, using plants that accumulate significant amounts of metals. An important environmental problem in large industrial cities is pollution by toxic compounds, including heavy metals. Due to the potential toxicity and high resistance of metals, soils contaminated with these elements are an environmental problem that requires effective and affordable solution. In soils heavy metals are in varying degrees of accessibility to plants. Water-soluble forms of heavy metals, as a rule, are presented in the form of various salts and organic complex compounds. Phytoremediation of urban soils from heavy metals is an important environmental challenge. Among the wild species, a special group of heavy metal hyperaccumulator plants is highlighted. Some of the land plants that can accumulate abnormally high levels of potentially toxic trace elements are known as “hyperaccumulators” and their number includes about 500 taxa. Phytoremediation is much more environmentally friendly and cheaper than other techniques, so recently it has received widespread use in various countries.

ABSTRACT One of the most serious and long-term consequences of environmental pollution is heavy metal contamination of soils. Elements such as zinc, cadmium, lead, nickel, and chromium are being released into the environment by many industrial processes and have now reached concentrations that are of concern. Phytoremediation is a new, low-cost, and environmentally friendly technique that relies on the natural properties of some plants to clean-up the ground through their ability to take up metals from the soil. Hyperaccumulator plants, capable of accumulating metals far in excess of any normal physiological requirement, represent a most promising tool for metal phytoextraction, but the in field establishment of their conditions for utilization needs a long period because of the plant life-cycle. The use of a mathematical model is proposed to process growth and uptake data from in vitro experiments for a rapid assessment of the time and concentration parameters for the deployment of hyperaccumulator plants for phytoextraction purposes. This preliminary research has been carried out using Alyssum bertolonii Desv., a nickel hyperaccumulator endemic to Italian serpentine soils.

The continued accumulation of trace and heavy metals in the environment presents a significant danger to biota health, including humans, which is undoubtedly undermining global environmental sustainability initiatives. Consequently, the need for efficient remediation technologies becomes imperative. Phytoremediation is one of the most viable options in this regard. Hundreds of plants in laboratory experiments demonstrate the potential to remediate varying concentrations of heavy metals; however, the remediation capacity of most of these plants proved unsatisfactory under field conditions. The identification and selection of plants with higher metal uptake capacity or hyperaccumulators are one of the limitations of this technology. Additionally, the mechanism of heavy metal uptake by plants remains to be sufficiently documented. The halophyte plants are famous for their adaptation to harsh environmental conditions, and hence could be the most suitable candidates for heavy metal hyperaccumulation. The state of Qatar in the Gulf region encompasses rich resources of halophytes that have the potential for future investment toward human and environmental health. This chapter, therefore, gives an overview of phytoremediation, with emphasis on halophytes as suitable heavy metal hyperaccumulators for improved remediation of heavy metal–contaminated areas.

Water and soil pollutant with Heavy Metals (HMs) is a major concern all over the world. It badly affects the human health and plant growth as well. The contaminated water and soil are remediating by the process of phytoremediation that gives prospect for recovering pristine stage of the water and soil’s environment. The phytoremediation technology which is cost-effective that is used for heavy metals removal and other contaminant from water and soil. The plants who have hyperaccumulator, they use its inner multipart system of largely efficient mechanism that controlling uptake, trafficking, accumulated & detoxifying of the heavy metal. Numerous approached for phytoremediation shows that instead of limitations, phytoremediation is most efficient approach for the heavy metals’ removal and contaminants from water and soil. Phytoremediation is cost effective and have few side effects as compared to chemical and physical approaches. The latest advancements in biotechnology plays a challenging part in the growth of novel hyperaccumulator from transfer of metallic gene by low to high species of biomass that produce cultivated species in future. Latest progress in practical & research application for phytoremediation to water & soil is there. In the future, phytoremediation’s efficacy of various plants for specific heavy metals have tested in farm condition to understand the feasibility for the technology of phytoremediation for the purpose of commercialization. Different required traits might be combined in single species of plant.

Soil contamination by heavy metals is a challenge faced by many countries, and engineering technologies to solve this problem are expensive and can cause negative impacts on the environment. One way to minimise the levels of heavy metals in the soil is to use plants that can absorb and accumulate heavy metals into harvestable parts, a process called phytoextraction. Typical plant species used in research involving phytoextraction are heavy metal hyperaccumulators, but plants from this group are not good biomass producers and grow more slowly than most species; thus, they have an important role in helping scientists understand the mechanisms involved in accumulating high amounts of heavy metals without developing symptoms or dying. However, because of their slow growth, it is not practical to use these species for phytoextraction. An alternative approach is to use non-hyperaccumulator plants assisted by chelating agents, which may improve the ability of plants to accumulate more heavy metals than they would naturally. Chelating agents can be synthetic or organic acids, and the advantages and disadvantages of their use in improving the phytoextraction potential of non-hyperaccumulator plants are discussed in this article. We hope to draw attention to ways to improve the phytoextraction potential of non-hyperaccumulator plants that produce a large amount of biomass and to stimulate more research on phytoextraction-inducing substances.
