Phytoremediation Potential of Saccharum Spp. in Heavy Metal-contaminated Soils: Physiological, Biochemical, and Ecological Perspectives
Saccharum species encompassing cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum and hybrids) and wild congeners such as S. spontaneum and S. munja offer an unusually versatile toolkit for sustainable land management. Their high biomass productivity, stress tolerance, and dense, fibrous root systems enable multiple ecosystem functi...
