Plants use their natural ability of mineral absorption to remove toxic metals from the contaminated environment. This book describes hyperaccumulation of chromium, from tannery effluent by using an aquatic macrophyte Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleid. and its effect on growth and photosynthetic pigments of the test plant. The literature review highlights various studies carried out on heavy metal accumulation in plants and their impact on the hyperaccumulating plant. Other than hyperaccumulation and toxicity studies, attempt has also been made to study the translocation of chromium in...

Use of industrial wastewaters as an auxiliary irrigation system is an option that is increasingly being investigated owing to mounting demands for water supply. However, improper disposal of these effluents may cause land degradation. As a sequel to the recent trend of plant biology research on environmental stress, plenty of knowledge about the plant-effluent relationship has been generated. This treatise is a compilation of different aspects vis-à-vis the impact of combined brewery-distillery effluent (CBDE) on various attributes of Tagetes erecta L. Concurrently; it also highlights the...
