“…The translocation factor (TF), the ratio of the contaminant concentration in shoots to that in roots, describes the extraction efficiency of contaminants from plants . Plants commonly used for phytoremediation combine rapid growth rates with large biomass production, high tolerance to contaminants, and great accumulation and translocation ability, for instance, oat (Avena sativa), barley (Hordeum vulgare), Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), sunflower, and ryegrass. − Our previous studies reported that both the Indian mustard and sunflower plants were potential candidate plants for the phytoremediation of U-contaminated soil. , On the other hand, for large contaminated areas, perennial grasses possess great advantages in the potential phytoremediation of contaminated soils. Ryegrasses are easily cultivated and fast-growing and have good growth adaptability in degraded contaminated soils. − Ryegrass has high tolerance to pollutants such as uranium. , …”
