Chemical mutagenesis for improving potential of plants to remediate environments with heavy metal contaminants
Toxic levels of heavy metals are increasingly posing threats to all organisms on earth. One possible remediation strategy involves the use of plants to remove toxic metals from contaminated soils. It is widely recognized that genetic improvement of plants with increased metal tolerance and uptake ca...
