The phytoremediation of metal-contaminated soils offers a low-cost method for soil
remediation and some extracted metals may be recycled for value. Both the phytoextraction …

▪ Abstract Plants vary considerably in their physiological response to selenium (Se). Some
plant species growing on seleniferous soils are Se tolerant and accumulate very high …

Selenium () is a metalloid which is close to sulfur (S) in terms of properties. The Se
concentration in soil varies with type, texture and organic matter content of the soil and with …

Phytoremediation is the use of plants to extract, sequester, and/or detoxify pollutants.
Phytoremediation is widely viewed as the ecologically responsible alternative to the …

The use of plants in environmental remediation has been called “green remediation,”“
phytoremediation,”“botanical bioremediation,”“phytoextraction,” etc. Phytoremediation …

This paper reviews major processes that potentially affect the fate of arsenic in the
rhizosphere of plants. Rhizosphere interactions are deemed to play a key role in controlling …

In areas where soils are low in bioavailable selenium (Se), potential Se deficiencies cause
health risks for humans. Though higher plants have been considered not to require this …

Contamination of the earth's ecosystems by potentially toxie metalsl metalloids is a global
problem. It will likely grow with our planet's increasing populations and their requirements for …

In human and animal cells, Se plays an essential role in antioxidation and exerts an
antiaging function but it is toxic at high dietary intake. To increase its intake in forage and …
