It is originated from Central and South America and has been introduced and cultivated all over the world because of its unique ornamental value. As a special epiphytic group, the root function of air plant is degraded, and it's growth completely depends on the leaves to absorb water and nutrients from the air, so its leaf absorption capacity is strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains a systematic study on the biomonitoring, purification and dynamic response of air plant to air pollutants. The results show that air plant is a broad spectrum plant to absorb atmospheric pollutants, including heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Pb etc.), formaldehyde, radon (Rn) and particulate matters (PM10, PM2.5 etc.). The specialized foliar trichomes densely covering Tillandsia leaves played a major role in the absorption of various pollutants. Moreover, air plant has a strong ability to resist air pollution damage, and has various unique avoidance or mitigation mechanisms in structure, physiology, gene and other aspects. Hormesis effect, in the framework of which a toxicant has a stimulating effect at low doses and a toxic effect at high doses, can commonly occur in this plant. Plant resistance genes and glutathione (GSH) may play an important role in the generation of hormesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peng Li,Guiling Zheng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 999931421X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789999314213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliva Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Peng Li","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446731878655,"sku":"9789999314213","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f702486-808a-444e-a2e3-8ce1f58a4db8.jpg?v=1777226591","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biomonitoring-and-dynamic-response-of-peng-li-9789999314213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
