Mechanisms of Metal Phytoremediation | Genetics

The following points highlight the five mechanisms of metal phytoremediation by plants. The mechanisms are: 1. Phytoextraction 2. Phytostabilization 3. Rhizofiltration 4. Phytovolatization 5. Phytodegradation. Mechanism # 1. Phytoextraction: This approach is primarily used for the treatment of contaminated soils. This process uses plants to absorb, concentrate, and precipitate toxic metal from contaminate soil and loaded into shoots, leaves etc. [...]

Bacterial Resistance in Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the bacterial resistance in plants. T4 Lysozyme: Several bacterial pathogens are responsible for enormous losses in cultivated and stored crops. Therefore, protection of plants from pathogenic bacteria is also a primary concern among plant scientists. Genetic engineering offers some good protection against bacterial attack. In one of the classic case studies, a novel [...]
