About this ebook

Phytotoxicity of Organic Pollutants: Impacts and Management offers new insights into understanding the mechanisms of plant response to organic pollutants and their impact on plant developmental biology and stress tolerance. The book provides coverage on the phytotoxicity and the deleterious effects of various organic pollutants on the mechanisms of plant growth, development, and responses to stress. It also considers environmental and plant-based remediation strategies to mitigate the impact phytotoxicity of organic pollutants and examines the broader potential implications of their impact on food safety and environmental sustainability. "Phytotoxicity of Organic Pollutants" is an interdisciplinary resource for scientists, academics, graduate students, and industry professionals interested in the study and remediation of the phytotoxicity of contaminants. - Describes the toxic effects of various organic pollutants on plant growth, development, and yield - Provides new insights derived from recent research on the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms controlling plant stress response to organic pollutants - Offers different remediation technologies of organic pollutants towards a sustainable environment
