Dualities in plant tolerance to pollutants and their uptake and translocation to the upper plant parts

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

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 ...

Increased tolerance of sunflower mutant seedlings to Cd and Zn in hydroponic culture

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova

Cadmium and zinc show similarities in their chemistry, geochemistry and environmental properties. Whereas Cd is a phytotoxic non-essential element, Zn is an essential trace element for plant growth and development. Zinc plays a fundamental role in several ...

From green to clean: a promising and sustainable approach towards environmental remediation and human health for the 21st century

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Phytotechnologies are ecotechnologies relating to the use of vegetation, to resolve environmental problems in a watershed management, by prevention of landscape degradation, remediation and restoration of degraded ecosystems, kontrol of environmental proce ...

Assessment of successful experiments and limitations of phytotechnologies: contaminant uptake, detoxification and sequestration, and consequences for food safety

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

The term "phytotechnologies" refers to the application of science and engineering to provide solutions involving plants, including phytoremediation options using plants and associated microbes to remediate environmental compartments contaminated by trace e ...

Stability of enhanced yield and metal uptake by sunflower mutants for improved phytoremediation

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova, Cécile Bourigault

Plant biomass and metal shoot accumulation are key factors for efficient phytoextraction. In a previous study, chemical mutagenesis has been used to improve the phytoextraction potential of sunflowers. The main goal of the present study was to assess the s ...

The role of cytochromes P450 and peroxidases in the detoxification of sulphonated anthraquinones by rhubarb and common sorrel plants cultivated under hydroponic conditions

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Background, aim and scope Sulphonated anthraquinones are precursors of many synthetic dyes and pigments, recalcitrant to biodegradation and thus not eliminated by classical wastewater treatments. In the development of a phytotreatment to remove sulphonated ...

A Promising Technique to Increase Metal Concentration and Extraction in Sunflowers

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova

Since most of the metal-hyperaccumulating wild plants only produce very low biomass and many high-yielding crops accumulate only moderate amounts of metals, the current research is mainly focused on overcoming these limitations and the optimization of meta ...
