Endophytes and their role in phytoremediation
Abstract
Many endophytes have been found to be resistant to heavy metals and/or capable of degrading organic contaminants, and endophyte-assisted phytoremediation has been documented as a promising technology for in situ remediation of contaminated soils. During the phytoremediation of heavy metals, the heavy-metal-resistant endophytes can enhance plant growth, decrease metal phytotoxicity, and affect metal translocation and accumulation in plants. For the phytoremediation of organic contaminants, endophytes can produce various enzymes to degrade organic contaminants and reduce both the phytotoxicity and evapotranspiration of volatile contaminants. This paper reviews the diversity of contaminant-resistant/degrading endophytes and their role in phytoremediation and discusses some issues that have been raised surrounding this area of research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
