PG - 340-6 AB - Organic pollutants are major contaminants of soil, water and air whereas phytoremediation is an efficient way to clean up the polluted environment. In recent years, a number of exogenous genes encoding the proteins with remediation activities have been introduced into plants, and transgenic plants with enhanced ability of bioremediation obtained. In this paper, recent achievements in the research on phytoremediation of environments polluted by organic pollutants, especially the persistent organic pollutants (POPs), is briefly described, and recent achievements and potential uses of transgenic plants in pollution remediation are discussed.
