Start with this Review Peer2005.pdf in press, or this shorter one but read both

Phytoremediation of toxic elemental and organic pollutants

Richard B MeagherE-mail The Corresponding Author .pdf

 

I may explain the paper below in detail as an example during class.

The assignment will be for each of you to present a paper the following week. You can find a good one from either of the reviews above.  You will have to summarize in a 2pg paper what the experiment was, goal, results and then ON YOUR OWN, draw a short plan as to how the technology could be used in practice for phytoremediation
