| The pollution with increased human activity and industrial development is increasing every day around the world. The pollution is generated by contaminants such as organic compounds and inorganic compounds containing heavy metals. There are various chemical and physical methods to remove these contaminants. But scientists due to high cost, incomplete removal of contaminants, environmental destruction and erosion by these methods, to study and development of biological techniques have made. A type of bioremediation methods is use of plants to clean up organic contaminants and minerals in water, soil and air. The remediting is done through complex mechanisms in plants. Today, the science of genetic engineering by using the genes in plants with the potential to clean-up or accumulation, they can produce transgenic plants with resistance to higher concentrations of pollutants. In this paper, according to previous studies, mechanisms of plants in removing of various contaminants and genetic engineering advances in the production of transgenic plants with phytoremediation potential is revised. |
