Phytoremediation of lead (Pb) contaminated soil is a green technology to reduce Pb exposure and root exudates-derived organic acids play a vital role in this treatment process. In this study, Pb hyperaccumulator Pelargonium hortorum was chosen to investigate root-induced organic acid secretions and their subsequent role in Pb phytoextraction. In the first step, root exudation of P.

Availability of lead (Pb) in soil is a major factor controlling the phytoremediation efficiency of plants. This study was focused on investigating the plant-induced changes in rhizosphere and corresponding effect on bioavailable fraction of Pb and accumulation in different plant parts. For rhizosphere study, special cropping device was designed locally.
