Evaluating phytoremediation potential of various weeds in cadmium-contaminated soil.
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic and prevalent heavy metal environmental contaminant. As weeds are more resistant to abiotic stress, certain weed species are hypothesized to possess strong potential for phytoremediation. Thus, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of wild oat, l...
