[ES] La fitorremediación es una tecnología que utiliza las plantas para eliminar contaminantes de suelos y aguas contaminados como consecuencia de actividades mineras, industriales, agrícolas o militares. Algunas plantas son capaces de metabolizar compuestos orgánicos así como de tolerar, detoxificar y almacenar elevadas cantidades de metales pesados, aunque los mecanismos utilizados son poco conocidos. Precisamente, el cultivo in vitro de tejidos vegetales está considerado como una herramienta fundamental no sólo para entender mejor las relaciones planta-contaminante sino también para poder predecir la respuesta de las plantas enteras al medioambiente contaminado o para desarrollar plantas con elevada capacidad de fitorremediación. En este trabajo se resume la aplicación del cultivo in vitro en aspectos relacionados con la fitorremediación como son los estudios básicos del metabolismo de contaminantes, la selección de variantes somaclonales y el desarrollo de plantas transgénicas con elevada capacidad de fitorremediación
[EN] Phytoremediation is the technology which uses plants to remove pollutants from the environment that has resulted from mining, industrial, agricultural and military practices. Little is known on the metabolic pathways in the transformation of xenobiotic compounds and in the ability of certain plants to tolerate, detoxify and store high concentrations of heavy metals. Plant cell and tissue culture may be considered an important tool in phytoremediation studies, specifically to increase our understanding of the plant-contaminant relationship, to predict the response of whole plants to environmental pollutants and to develop plants with enhanced capacity of phytoremediation. In this article, the role of in vitro tissue culture techniques on phytoremediation studies is reviewed.
