Summary
Organic pollution, particularly persistent organic pollutants (POPs), pose significant threats to the natural environment and human health. Bioremediation, especially phytoremediation, has emerged as a promising approach for degrading organic pollutants due to its cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. Legumes are widely used in phytoremediation because of their well-developed root systems and symbiotic rhizosphere microorganisms. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the efficiency and mechanisms of legume-based phytoremediation, along with the role of auxiliary additives in addressing organic pollution. These additives include microorganisms, other plants, and additional substances (including bioactive substances, secondary metabolites and inactive additives). Le
