- 30. Phytostimulation Phytostimulation — This process is also known as rhizosphere degradation. Enhancement of soil microbial activity for the degradation of contaminants, typically by organisms that associate with roots. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 30
- 31. Phytostimulation Organisms involve may be bacteria or mycorrhizal fungi 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 31
- 32. RHIZOFILTRATION Rhizofiltration: Filtering water through a mass of roots to remove toxic substances or excess nutrients. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 32

- 34. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 34
- 35. Plants used Helianthus Annus Euchronia crassipes chloridemia sp. cladophore 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 35
- 36. PHYTOSTABILIZATION Reduction of mobility of contaminants in environment 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 36
- 37. PHYTOSTABILIZATION Stabilize the contaminants Prevent mechanical transportation of chemicals Trees transpire large quantities of water (even some more than 15gal/day) So pumping action prevents contaminants from migration into the water table 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 37
- 38. How stabilization occur Phytostabilization focuses on the long term stabilization For example, the plant's presence can reduce wind erosion; or the plant's roots can prevent water erosion, In this way immobilize the pollutants by adsorption or accumulation, and provide a zone around the roots where the pollutant can precipitate and stabilize. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 38
- 39. Unlike phytoextraction, phytostabilization focuses mainly on sequestering (attached) pollutants in soil near the roots but not in plant tissues. Pollutants become less bioavailable, and livestock, wildlife, and human exposure is reduced. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 39
- 40. Plant used Mostly tree species are used 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 40
- 41. Phytotransformation Chemical modification of the environmental substances (contaminants) takes place by plant. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 41
- 42. Phytotransformation In the case of organic pollutants, such as pesticides, explosives, solvents, industrial chemicals, and other toxic substances are taken up by plants and transformed into less toxic or non-toxic form when plant metabolize them. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 42
- 43. Phytotransformation certain plants are used, such as Cannas, convert these substances (contaminants) into non-toxic substances by their metabolism. In other cases, microorganisms living in association with plant roots may metabolize these substances in soil or water. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 43
- 44. These complex compounds cannot be broken down to basic molecules (water, carbon-dioxide, etc.) by plants hence, the term phytotransformation represents a change in chemical structure (less toxic) without complete breakdown of the compound. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 44
- 45. Phase I metabolism "Green Liver" is used to describe phytotransformation, as plants behave analogously to the human liver when dealing with these xenobiotic compounds (foreign compound/pollutant). After uptake of the xenobiotics, plant enzymes increase the polarity of the xenobiotics by adding functional groups such as hydroxyl groups (-OH). 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 45
- 46. Phase II metabolism In the second stage of phytotransformation, known as Phase II metabolism, plant biomolecules such as glucose and amino acids are added to the polarized xenobiotic to further increase the polarity (known as conjugation). 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 46
- 47. Phase III metabolism In the final stage of phytotransformation (Phase III metabolism), a sequestration (segregation) of the xenobiotic occurs within the plant. The xenobiotics polymerize in a lignin-like manner and develop a complex structure that is sequestered in the plant. This ensures that the xenobiotic is safely stored, and does not affect the functioning of the plant. 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 47

- 58. Conclusion So overall we have to understand their (mean contaminants especially heavy metals) toxic effects on living lives, on all living organisms (including animals, humans and plants as well). Pakistan is an agricultural country and much of its economy based on agriculture By using potential plants, curing this problem we can increase yield and production in agriculture So in this way we can happy our farmers by overall increasing yield production and also in this way we can improve our economy and income And overall overcome economic losses 1/24/201 7 Mujahid Hussain (12) M.Phil Botany, Department of Botany, Unversity of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan 58
