Obecné aspekty detoxikace iontů těžkých kovů v rostlinách General insight into heavy metal ions detoxification in plant
Phytoremediation constitutes an attractive alternative of decontamination of polluted sites primarily to conventional ex-situ
techniques. Further development of phytoremediation and especially exploitation of genetically modified plants requires comprehensive
insight into heavy metal resistance mechanisms in plants. This review is focused on particular aspects of resistance and detoxification
of heavy metals on the level of individual plant and single cell.
Key words: heavy metal resistance, phytoremediation, mycorrhiza, phytochelatines, metallothioneins, vacuolar deposition.
