Enhancing Phytoremediation Efficiency: The Role of Plant–Microbe Symbiosis in Nuclear Waste Treatment

“Phytoremediation” encompasses a wide range of plant-based treatments that apply naturally existing or genetically modified plants to eliminate pollutants from places that have been polluted. This Phytoremediation techniques incorporate the elimination or degradation of hazardous materials, which can effectively process contaminated to a low to moderate level. These techniques are very cost-efficient green technology and eco-friendly that are very much effective in maintaining healthy environment. The symbiotic association between some hyperaccumulator plants and mycorrhizal fungus is a noteworthy illustration of how plant–microbe interaction occurs during phytoremediation for the cleanup of nuclear waste. Hyperaccumulator plants can collect significant amounts of heavy metals in their tissues, including those found in radioactive waste. The Rhizobacteria assist plants grow by releasing phytohormones which stimulate the growth. These soilborne bacteria work with plants to help absorb, trap, and eliminate harmful substances from zones of contamination. This study delves into the complex interplay between plants and microbes, to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation in the context of nuclear waste treatment. By understanding and optimizing these synergistic mechanisms, we seek to elevate the efficiency of phytoremediation and contribute to the development of sustainable solutions for nuclear waste management. The goal is to gather detailed insights that can be utilized to optimize tactics, thus contributing to the refinement of remediation processes for lowering the environmental impact associated with nuclear waste. Through a comprehensive exploration of these synergistic relationships, this research aspires to pave the way for innovative and sustainable solutions in the field of nuclear waste management.
