Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope Zinc is an essential micronutrient element but its concentrations found in contaminated soils frequently exceed those required
by the plant and soil organisms, and thus create danger to animal and human health. Phytoremediation is a technique, often
employed in remediation of contaminated soils, which aims to remove heavy metals or other contaminants from soils or waters
using plants. Arabidopsis (A.) halleri ssp. gemmifera is a plant recently found to be grown vigorously in heavy metal contaminated areas of Japan and it contained remarkably high
amount of heavy metals in its shoots. However, the magnitude of Zn accumulation and tolerance in A. halleri ssp. gemmifera need to be investigated for its use as a phytoremediation plant. |
