Heavy Metal Stress

7. CONCLUSION
The success of phytoremediation will require an improved understanding of the biological
processes involved in metal acquisition, movement across plant cells within a
plant, shoot accumulation, and metal detoxification in both metal hyperaccumulator
and nonaccumulator plants. Once our knowledge of these intricate processes is further
enhanced, we will be able to fully take advantage of plants for phytoremediation of
numerous and vast areas of agricultural land and/or natural habitats.
