Assisted phytoremediation encompasses a diverse array of applications involving plants in the remediation of environmental pollutants. This field encompasses various techniques, including root engineering, the development of transgenic plants, the enhancement of biomass production, the utilization of genetic engineering and genome editing technologies for rapid phytoremediation, and more. By leveraging genetic engineering, the overexpression of genes or gene clusters responsible for the degradation and uptake of pollutants can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of plant remediation.

The book presents cutting-edge techniques of assisted phytoremediation, aimed at effectively managing soil and water pollution in substantial quantities. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and engineers in the fields of environmental science and bioengineering, offering comprehensive case studies and state-of-the-art research conducted by renowned global scientists. This book provides a solid foundation upon which scientific knowledge can flourish and expand in the realm of environmental remediation.
