AB  - High toxicity, bioaccumulation factor and widespread dispersal of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) cause environmental and human health hazards. The 
      combined use of plants and bacteria is a promising approach for the remediation 
      of soil and water contaminated with POPs. Plants provide residency and nutrients 
      to their associated rhizosphere and endophytic bacteria. In return, the bacteria 
      support plant growth by the degradation and detoxification of POPs. Moreover, 
      they improve plant growth and health due to their innate plant growth-promoting 
      mechanisms. This review provides a critical view of factors that affect 
      absorption and translocation of POPs in plants and the limitations that plant 
      have to deal with during the remediation of POPs. Moreover, the synergistic 
      effects of plant-bacteria interactions in the phytoremediation of organic 
      pollutants with special reference to POPs are discussed.
