Introduction
Phytoremediation is a promising technology that utilizes plants to remove, degrade, or stabilize contaminants in the environment. Transgenic plants, genetically engineered to express specific traits, have the potential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of phytoremediation processes. This thesis aims to explore the development of transgenic plants for phytoremediation, with a focus on improving their ability to remediate a wide range of contaminants.
