Review on Application of Low Accumulation Crops on Remediation of Farmland Contaminated by Heavy Metals
Remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils has attracted wide attention since heavy metal pollution is becoming more and more serious.Uptake and accumulation of heavy metals by crops vary significantly not only among interspecific varieties but also among intraspecific varieties,which provides possibilities for breeding and screening low accumulation crop varieties.It was reviewed the research progress on the principles and requirements for the selection of low accumulation crop varieties and interspecific and intraspecific differences in heavy metals accumulation in crops.The mechanisms of low accumulation of heavy metals in crops were analysed and the application of low accumulation varieties on the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in farmland was discussed.The future research focus was also prospected.
