phytoremediation
Phytoremediation uses living plants to clean up soil, air, and water contaminated with hazardous substances. This approach is significant for plant science because it demonstrates plants' remarkable ability to absorb and metabolize pollutants, revealing key mechanisms of plant physiology and adaptation. The field also offers sustainable, practical solutions for environmental restoration and pollution remediation.
