Summary: The study found that cotton plants have a certain tolerance to lead, but are not suitable as hyperaccumulators of lead. They mainly use an exclusion mechanism to cope with lead stress, and have very low bioconcentration and translocation efficiency for lead.

Summary: Agave americana showed high tolerance to low levels of Cd contamination but significant reduction in biomass at higher levels. Cd mainly accumulated in roots with exclusion mechanism as the principal physiological tolerance mechanism. Due to its reproductive capacity, it is suitable for phytostabilization of Cd-contaminated soils.

Summary: Cadmium pollution has detrimental effects on plant growth, food safety, and human health. Phytoremediation, specifically rice intercropping with wetland plants, proves to be an efficient and eco-friendly approach to minimize cadmium accumulation in rice. This experiment showed that intercropping with Pontederia cordata and Canna indica significantly improved rice growth while reducing cadmium concentrations in both the rice and wetland plants. Rice intercropping with P. cordata performed better than intercropping with C. indica in reducing cadmium accumulation in rice.

Summary: The study evaluated the capability of native plant species grown in polluted post-mining soils to accumulate metals for phytoremediation. Different native plants were found suitable for remediation of specific metals, with some being effective for both Cd and Zn. However, none of the studied plants were suitable for phytoremediation of Pb, Cu, As, and Ag.

Summary: The study found that cotton has a strong tolerance to cadmium, being able to grow in soil with a cadmium concentration of up to 200 mg/kg. Additionally, cotton was classified as an excluder rather than accumulator of cadmium, making it suitable for phytostabilization of cadmium-contaminated soils.

Summary: Arid and semiarid environments in Mediterranean countries suffer from water scarcity, limiting agricultural productivity. Treated wastewater is considered an alternative for irrigation, but it contains heavy metals and contaminants. This study evaluates the phytoremediation potential of six woody tree species irrigated with treated wastewater.

Summary: The study focused on understanding the ionome of a characteristic dolomite species and its applications in terms of nutritional behavior and factors favoring rich and rare flora on dolomitic soils. It found that the species could accumulate potentially phytotoxic elements and transport them from roots to aerial parts of the plant, indicating potential bioindicator or phytoremediation capacity in the plant community.

Summary: Human activities have led to increased metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems, with macrophytes playing a vital role in absorbing these metals. This study investigated the metal absorption capabilities of three macrophyte species and found that Phragmites australis and Schoenoplectus corymbosus have the potential for metal phytoremediation. It was also concluded that using a combination of different macrophytes would be more effective in treating polluted systems.

Summary: This study investigated the accumulation of trace metals in sediments of mangrove ecosystems in Kerala state, their ecological risks, and the absorption, accumulation, and translocation of metals in different mangrove species. The findings revealed that certain trace metals exceeded the prescribed effects range median in sediments, posing a risk to biota. Additionally, certain mangrove species showed a high capacity for accumulating specific trace metals, such as chromium, cadmium, and lead.
