Article Synopsis
- - Soil contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a growing environmental issue that threatens living organisms, and phytoremediation using plants like alfalfa is a promising solution for cleaning up these contaminated soils.
- - Alfalfa is particularly effective for phytoremediation because of its high biomass, ability to tolerate PTEs, and capacity for uptake, but there hasn’t been a comprehensive literature review on its potential until now.
- - The review discusses alfalfa's mechanisms for PTE tolerance and accumulation, such as activating antioxidant systems and producing protective substances, while also highlighting strategies to enhance its effectiveness through selective breeding and soil microbe inoculation.
