Hardback. This book comprehensively evaluates the latest progress in use of the plant family Brassicaceae (Crucifereae or the mustard family) as an important part of the plants- and associated microbes-based strategies for cleaning up various environmental contaminants. Editor(s): Anjum, N. A.; Ahmad, Iqbal; Pereira, M. Eduarda; Duarte, Armando C.; Umar, Shahid; Khan, Nafees A. Series: Environmental Pollution. Num Pages: 360 pages, biography.

With the advent of the industrial revolution , the biosphere has been continuously polluted with a myriad of contaminants that urgently need global attention. In this perspective, most of the genera of the plant family Brassicaceae (Crucifereae or the mustard family) are a significant part of the plants- and associated microbes-based strategies adopted for the cleanup of varied contaminants from environmental compartments. Important genus such as Alyssum, Arabidopsis, Brassica and Thlaspi from Brassicaceae which, besides acting as an attractive genetic model, well-represent the metal hyperaccumulation among approximately 0.2% of all angiosperms and thus, play a key role in the phytoremediation ...
