Klappentext zu „Phytoremediation and Biofortification “
Phytoremediation consists of using plants and their associated microbes for environmental cleanup. Over the past 10 years, this treatment has gained recognition as a cost-effective, non-invasive, alternative or complimentary technology to engineering-based remediation methods. Biofortification, on the other hand, is an agricultural process that increases the uptake and accumulation of mineral nutrients in agricultural products through plant breeding, genetic engineering, or manipulation of agricultural practices.
This book shows how, despite having different goals, both phytoremediation and biofortification technologies can be closely connected as they are both based on the phytoextraction process that involves plant uptake, accumulation, and transformation of nutrient elements from soil. More specifically, this brief offers a comprehensive introduction to Phytoremediation and Biofortification of selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), cadium (Cd) and copper (Cu), and illustrates the emerging integration of these two bio-technologies.
Phytoremediation and Biofortification: Two Sides of One Coin is a valuable resource to students, technicians, and academics who are interested in the treatment of environmental problems (bioremediation) through the use of plants, and in the field of biofortification.

Autoren-Porträt von Xuebin Yin
Xuebin Yin is Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Director of the Advanced Laboratory for Selenium and Human Health at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Dr. Yin started his research on selenium biogeochemistry, phytoremediation and biofortification with Professor Liguang Sun at USTC in 1998, and continued with Professor Yongming Luo at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2005. His research is related to the biogeochemistry of trace elements (such as, selenium, zinc, iodine and fluorine), with a special focus on their biological transformation process, health issue and utilization in the agriculture and food. He has authored and co-authored over 30 refereed journal and review articles, proceedings, and book chapters. Dr. Yin received his Bachelor of Science degree in Geochemistry (2000), and his Ph. D. in Environmental Science (2005) from USTC.
