Assisted Phytoremediaion covers a wide range of uses of plants for remediation of environmental pollutants. It includes coverage of such techniques as root engineering, transgenic plants, increasing the biomass, use of genetic engineering and genome editing technology for rapid phytoremediation of pollutants. In order to improve the efficiency of plant remediation, genetic engineering plays a vital role in the overexpression of genes or gene clusters, which are responsible for degradation and uptake of pollutants. The book presents state-of-the-art techniques of assisted phytoremediation to better manage soil and water pollution in large amounts. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and engineers in environmental science and bioengineering, with case studies and state-of-the-art research from eminent global scientists. This book serves as an excellent basis from which scientific knowledge can grow and widen in the field of environmental remediation. Provides a clear picture of how to design, tune, and implement assisted phytoremediation techniques Offers a comprehensive analysis of current perspective and state-of-the-art applications of assisted phytoremediation Introduces the potential of genetic engineering as a rapid, cost-effective technology for environmental remediation using plants INDICE: Understanding assisted phytoremediation: Potential tools to enhance plant performance Plant-assisted bioremediation: Soil recovery and energy from biomass Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-assisted phytoremediation: Concepts, challenges, and future perspectives Biochar assisted phytoremediation for metal(loid) contaminated soils Chelate-assisted phytoremediation Nanoparticles-assisted phytoremediation: Advances and applications Transgenic plant-mediated phytoremediation: Applications, challenges, and prospects CRISPR-assisted strategies for futuristic phytoremediation Approaches for assisted phytoremediation of arsenic contaminated sites Compost-assisted phytoremediation Bioremediation of contaminated soil with plant growth rhizobium bacteria Phytobial remediation by bacteria and fungi Recent developments in phosphate-assisted phytoremediation of potentially toxic metal(loid)s-contaminated soils Electrokinetic-assisted Phytoremediation Biosurfactant-assisted phytoremediation for a sustainable future
