With current intensive agriculture practices and industrialization, pollution of natural resources like land water with heavy metals, organic pollutants, radionuclides, pesticides, fertilizers has become a major concern. Phytoremediation is cost-effective environmentally friendly technique that utilizes plants to immobilize, uptake, reduce toxicity, stabilize, or degrade the compounds are released into environment from different sources. Studies have shown contaminants, antibiotics, pesticides can be remediated using plants. Though phytoremediation been practiced since decades, it still an emerging technology. This review article summarizes existing information synthesizes recent findings on plant species suitable for use in through utilizing mechanisms, aids enhance efficiency processes, strengths limitations comes application this technique. Diverse remediate pollutants at rates one multiple mechanisms. The overcome by several including chemical amendments, genetic engineering microbial stimulation.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with the roots of nearly all land-dwelling plants, increasing growth and productivity, especially during abiotic stress. AMF improves plant development by improving nutrient acquisition, such as phosphorus, water, mineral uptake. tolerance resilience to stressors drought, salt, heavy metal toxicity. These benefits come from arbuscular interface, which lets fungal partners exchange nutrients, signalling molecules, protective chemical compounds. Plants' antioxidant defence systems, osmotic adjustment, hormone regulation are also affected infestation. responses promote performance, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production in stress conditions.
