Product Description
For sustainable environmental management as a whole the roles of phytoremediation and biofortification as two sides of the same coin must be highlighted. Phytoremediation is a process in which biological organisms are used to eliminate or nullify an environmental pollutant by a metabolic course of action. Biofortification in contrast is an agrarian process that enhances the micronutrient content of a food crop through plant breeding genetic modification use of enriched fertilizers or management of agricultural practices. These two strategies although targeting different objectives both work on the same principle of the bio-extraction process that involves uptake accretion removal and modification of micro- and macro-nutrient elements from the soil. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of phytoremediation and biofortification of Zn Fe Cu and Cd etc. and illustrates the emerging and innovative combination of these technologies. With chapters written by experts the book highlights a wide range of topics and discusses the integration of advanced phytoremediation and biofortification approaches for sustainable ecological and health management. Topics include phytoremediation and biofortification strategies that use nanotechnology; algae fungi and other plants; CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering; and more for decontamination of water and soil and for fortifying plants against climate change toxic chemicals and other challenges. Key features: reviews and integrates the currently available information on phytoremediation and biofortification from molecular biochemical and physiological levels provides a direction towards implementation of programs and practices to enable the sustainable production of crops resilient to climatic alterations This volume will be valuable for investigators who are working or have an interest in sustainable environmental management as well as for research students teachers scientists and engineers whether in academia industry or government and those who have an interest in environmental remediation and micronutrient fields. | Phytoremediation and Biofortification Strategies for Sustainable Environmental and Health Management

If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit.

This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software.
