Phytoremediation is an eco friendly approach for remediation of contaminated soil and water
using plants. Phytoremediation is comprised of two components, one by the root colonizing …

Allelopathy can be defined as chemical interactions between and among both plants and
microorganisms via releases of biologically active chemical compounds into the …

For microbiology and environmental microbiology courses, this leading textbook builds on
the academic success of the previous edition by including a comprehensive and up-to-date …

Two greenhouse pot experiments were conducted to investigate the potential of 13 plant
species (grasses, cruciferes, legumes, herbs) to thrive in a long-term contaminated soil from …

A key question in plant invasion biology is why invasive plants are more competitive in their
introduced habitat than in their native habitat. Studies show that invasive species exhibit …

Upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) is mainly grown in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Yield
potential of upland rice is quite low and invariably this crop is subjected to many …

Allelopathy involves complex plant× plant chemical interactions. Although a large number of
laboratory bioassays have proposed to demonstrate allelopathy, most of them have little or …

Soil organic matter can protect plants and microorganisms from toxic substances. Beyond
the tolerance limit, the toxicity of petroleum pollution to soil organisms may increase rapidly …

To exert phytotoxic effects on other plant species, chemicals may have to move to the roots
of the target plant through the soil. However, during movement, abiotic (physical and …

Phytoremediation was evaluated as a potential treatment for the creosote-contaminated
surface soil at the McCormick and Baxter (M&B) Superfund Site in Portland, Oregon. Soil at …
