Abstract:Soil contamination by heavy metals, such as zinc, has significant environmental consequences. Phytoremediation, among various remediation techniques, has been developed and applied to restore contaminated soils. However, phytoremediation has limitations related to slow plant growth, influenced by contaminant toxicity. This study aims to investigate the effect of the interaction between zinc and silicon on growth, hydration, photosynthetic and biochemical behaviours, as well as the phytoremediation capacity in … Show more
