Role of Plant-Microbe Interaction in Phytoremediation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
In vitro Plant Breeding towards Novel Agronomic Traits

Abstract

As a result of rapidly increasing population and the related anthropogenic activities, our natural resources are becoming severely contaminated with various inorganic and organic compounds. Among the several remediation techniques available for removal of pollutants, phytoremediation is considered to be the most efficient and environment friendly. Phytoremediation is a process where plants and associated microbes are utilized for removal of harmful chemicals from the polluted sites. The rhizospheric microbiome is comprised of several bacteria, endophytes and AMF that plays significant role in plant growth and development. The rhizospheric microbiota facilitates nutrient availability, releases growth-promoting phytohormones and provides protection against abiotic and biotic stresses to plants. The interaction of these soilborne microbes with plants helps in uptake, sequestration and detoxification of contaminants from polluted sites. This chapter aims at highlighting the role of plant-microbe interactions in the process of phytoremediation. A detailed understanding of the plant-microbe interaction in phytoremediation will help in developing more efficient methods for detoxification of the polluted sites leading to environmental cleanup.
