Question

In heavy metals toxity in plants, what are the phytoremediation strategies on how to mitigate plant heavy metal contamination that reduce plant toxity ( only one main strategy)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

One main strategy to mitigate plant heavy metal contamination and reduce plant toxicity is phytostabilization. Phytostabilization involves using plants to immobilize or sequester heavy metals in the soil, preventing them from being taken up by the plant roots and accumulating in the plant tissues. This strategy involves planting suitable plant species with high metal tolerance and uptake capabilities in contaminated areas to create a buffer zone that reduces the spread of heavy metals and their toxicity to other organisms. Phytostabilization can be an effective and eco-friendly method for managing heavy metal contamination in plants and their surrounding environment.
