Approaches to Heavy Metal Tolerance in Plants (Repost)

Metal sequestration via extensive range of transporters covered
Several approaches to exploit the ability of plants to facilitate the metal detoxification like genetic engineering and ameliorating the rhizosphere with mycorrhizal association explained
Discusses the mechanisms underlying heavy metal signaling and role of MAPKs in the heavy metal stress tolerance
Concludes with impending procedures to chelator enhanced phytoremediation technology

This book summarizes the development of highly tolerant cultivars via plant breeding, genomics, and proteomic approaches. This book could supplement data for budding researchers by providing extensive ongoing measures to improve the detoxification competence of appropriate species via wide range of plant improvement approaches. It also offers insights into heavy metal signalling,metal chelation by organic acids, amino acids, and phosphate derivatives, and illustrates other strategies that have been extensively investigated, such as genetic engineering, ecological improvement of the rhizosphere using mycorrhiza and chelator enhanced phytoremediation technology. This book could provide simple anthology for undergraduate and postgraduate students to understand fundamentals of heavy metal pollution in the environment. The book closes with a prelude to an inclusive study of biodiversity that could provide new biofilters for metal detoxification.
