Abstract
Phytoextraction using natural cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulators, notably Sedum alfredii and Sedum plumbizincicola, represents an economical and efficient approach for soil Cd purification. However, achieving high phytoremediation efficiency necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying Cd tolerance and accumulation in these plants. This review summarizes key mechanisms, encompassing Cd activation in the rhizosphere, uptake and transport in the roots, translocation via the xylem, and Cd tolerance. Additionally, physical, chemical, and biological strategies for enhancing phytoremediation efficiency are overviewed and compared. Despite advancements, disparities persist between field and laboratory research, posing certain limitations to the application of natural hyperaccumulators for large-scale phytoextraction or specific soil types. To address these challenges, we propose combining novel hyperaccumulating-like biomaterials with intelligent agriculture to achieve large-scale precision phytoremediation. Furthermore, we aim to draw attention to strategies for enhancing the phytoextraction potential of non-hyperaccumulator plants with high biomass production and stimulate further research into phytoextraction-inducing substances.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Phytoremediation (IJP) is the first journal devoted to the publication of laboratory and field research describing the use of plant systems to solve environmental problems by enabling the remediation of soil, water, and air quality and by restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Traditional phytoremediation has largely focused on soil and groundwater clean-up of hazardous contaminants. Phytotechnology expands this umbrella to include many of the natural resource management challenges we face in cities, on farms, and other landscapes more integrated with daily public activities. Wetlands that treat wastewater, rain gardens that treat stormwater, poplar tree plantings that contain pollutants, urban tree canopies that treat air pollution, and specialized plants that treat decommissioned mine sites are just a few examples of phytotechnologies.
