Hyperaccumulation of silver in Indian mustard Brassica juncea
Abstract
Human activities like, landfilling, effluents of industrial waste, ore processing and leaching are few of the major ones contributing towards the discharge of silver into the environment. Phytoremediation is environment friendly and less expensive technique and it is easily applicable on larger contaminated areas. Brassica plants have been used for the purpose of phytoremediation. Brassica juncea (Indian mustard) is chosen because of its great tolerance level against high concentration of metal. This study explores the potential of Brassica juncea for remediation of silver metal. The pot experiment was conducted and seeds were sown in sand under the natural conditions required for growth. Plants were treated wi... Read More read more link button
