Abstract:
Data on the uptake, excretion, and biodegradation of organic xenobiotics by plants are reviewed. Detoxification pathways operating in plants and their role in remediation of biosphere are described. Structure-, concentration, and time-dependent effects of xenobiotics on the ultrastructural organization of cells are analyzed.
