It is for this reason that we became interested in enhancing phytoremediation using transgenic technologies." Modified poplars and contaminants Doty, bioremediation researcher Stuart Strand and ...

Poplars have a lot of P450s and Doty said ... a pollutant associated with petroleum. Work on phytoremediation at the UW has been funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences ...

The company even sells kits—250 poplar seedlings for $240. Phytoremediation has its share of drawbacks. For one thing, it's slow. "Often sites need to be cleaned faster than plants can grow ...

phytoremediation can be a cost-effective and sustainable technology, Nichols says. The Coast Guard site was planted with a mixture of fast-growing trees such as hybrid poplars and willows to ...

"In addition, trees with unique traits may be used in phytoremediation, a process whereby trees such as cottonwoods or hybrid poplars could be used to clean up hazardous waste sites. "Clearly ...

The poplars are part of a wave of advances in phytoremediation, the process of using plants to clean up toxic soil or water. They arise from work by Sharon Doty, a plant microbiologist at the ...

We call that phytoremediation. But the poplar varieties they've created are excellent for that too. So in terms of climate change, Cathy, so everybody in-- our listeners are very familiar with the ...

Emerging phytoremediation technologies have been applied at various scales to treat moderately hydrophobic pollutants, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) compounds ...

Possible mechanisms and technological process of micro/nanoplastics phytoremediation. The plastics absorbed and intercepted by plants can be recycled through different processes for incineration ...

A hybrid poplar is a tree resulting from the combining, either naturally or artificially, of various poplar species into a hybrid. Hybrid poplars (Populus spp.) are among the fastest-growing trees ...

This is the conclusion researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology draw in a new study on poplars. The scientists showed that higher levels of jasmonic acid were also detectable ...
