Biotechnology is playing a pivotal role in enhancing phytodegradation. Genetic engineering techniques are being used to develop plants with improved capabilities for contaminant uptake and degradation. For instance, transgenic plants expressing specific degradation enzymes are being developed to target specific pollutants. The use of plant-associated microorganisms, such as rhizobacteria, is also being explored to support and enhance the phytodegradation process.
