pollutant-degradation

2 articles

Pollutant degradation in plants refers to the capacity of plants to break down or metabolize harmful environmental contaminants through enzymatic and biochemical processes. This is significant for plant science because it reveals how plants adapt to pollution stress and enables phytoremediation—the use of plants to restore contaminated soil and water. Understanding these mechanisms contributes to both fundamental plant physiology and the development of sustainable environmental remediation strategies.
