Preface
It’s well-know natural mineral elements could show both toxicity and nutrient benefits, depending on their doses. In the past decades, phytoremediation was introduced to remove excessive mineral pollutants from soil with green plants and biofortification was another innovative biotechnology raising the mineral level in human foods. Because of different aims, the researchers get used to separately develop and utilize these two bio-technologies in their fields. Actually, they are two sides of one coin and could be closely i
