Plant Physiol., 131 (2) : 656-663

This document provides a literature review on the use of transgenic plants for phytoremediation. It summarizes 14 sources published between 1992 and 2013 that examine using genetically engineered plants to remove contaminants like heavy metals, organic compounds, and selenium from polluted soils and water. The references investigate expressing genes that enhance metal binding, antioxidant production, and detoxification pathways in order to make plants more tolerant and effective at bioremediating contaminated sites.
