Growth and Phytoremediation Efficiency of Winged Bean in Fluorene- and Pyrene-Contaminated Soil.

Winged bean is a tropical legume that has been reported to enhance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) biodegradation in soil. However, there is insufficient information about the susceptibility of winged bean to PAH toxicity in long term study. In this study, winged bean was planted in soil contaminated with either fluorene (124.
