Reactive oxygen species production and signalling as a component of salinity tolerance mechanism in cereals
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive and toxic by-products of the aerobic metabolism, which are overproduced during period of stress. They disturb the cell machinery and induce oxidative damages on important biological macromolecules. Salinity ...
2013Dualities in plant tolerance to pollutants and their uptake and translocation to the upper plant parts
There is a duality in plant tolerance to pollutants and its response to the pollutants’ stress. On the one hand some plants, (hyper)tolerant to heavy metals, are able to hyperaccumulate these metals in shoots, which could be beneficial for phytoremediation ...
2009From green to clean: a promising and sustainable approach to remove toxic metals from contaminated soils
Phytoextraction is an in situ decontamination technique using metal accumulating plants and appropriate soil amendments to transport and concentrate metals from the soil into the aboveground parts of plants, which are harvested with conventional agricultur ...
2009A phytoremediation approach to remove pesticides (atrazine and lindane) from contaminated environment
The present thesis is part of a project exploring new possibilities to remediate soils polluted by insecticide lindane and herbicide atrazine. It is the Indo-Swiss project entitled "Development of Phytoremediation Techniques Using Interactive Potential of ...
