Using phytoremediation technique to remove contaminants from soil had become a topic in current research.This article expounded the domestic and oversea research progress of hyperaccumulators on cultivation techniques and was systematically elaborated from many aspects,including variety selecting,seedling breeding,fertilizing (nitrogen phosphorus and organic fertilizer),usage of chelator and ameliorant,polyploid breeding,etc.The direction of hyperaccumulators research is put forward that the aboveground biomass and the heavy metal accumulation quantity should be raised through improving cultivation measures,meanwhile a new idea about research of plant tissue culture has been come up with.

Using phytoremediation technique to remove contaminants from soil had become a topic in current research. This article expounded the domestic and oversea research progress of plants on polyploid techniques and was systematically elaborated from many aspects, including the formation of polyploid, induction methods, and application, etc. The direction of phytoremediation is put forward that the biomass and heavy metal accumulation quantity of hyperaccumulators would be raised through polyploid induction.

Abstract Background Heavy metal accumulation in the ecosystem constitutes a potential toxic effect which is hazardous to human health. Increasing environmental pollution has necessitated the use of cattle egrets to evaluate the levels of heavy metal contamination, to establish their use in biomonitoring of heavy metals and to provide data for monitoring pollution in the environment. Results The present study assessed the utilization of Bubulcus ibis in monitoring pollution in five abattoirs, namely Agege, Bariga, Kara, Itire and Idi-Araba, all situated in Lagos State. The concentration of five (5) heavy metals, cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) was determined in the liver, muscle and feather of Bubulcus ibis using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The trend of metal accumulation was in the order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Ni for all the sampled tissues. The mean tissue concentrations of the metals were significantly different (p < 0.05) among the sites. The highest levels of metal concentration were reported in the liver in all the locations. Mean concentration of Cd in Kara (0.003 ± 0.00058) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those found at Agege (0.0013 ± 0.00058) and Idi-Araba (0.001 ± 0.001). A significant difference (p < 0.05) was also observed between the mean concentrations of Cu in Bariga (0.01 ± 0.001) and Idi-Araba (0.003 ± 0.001). Conclusion All the studied heavy metals were present in the liver, muscle and feathers of the cattle egrets. The contamination levels were ascertained from the study which indicated that cattle egrets are useful in biomonitoring studies and the generated data will serve as baseline data which could be compared with data from other locations for monitoring heavy metal pollution.
