New weapons explosive exhibits persistent toxicity in plants

This study reports the mechanism of phytotoxicity by the explosive 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) that is being phased in to replace TNT in munitions. Only low levels of DNAN are detoxified by plants, causing chronic toxicity and potential exposure to herbivores.

Field trial demonstrating phytoremediation of the military explosive RDX by XplA/XplB-expressing switchgrass

Switchgrass engineered to express two enzymes that degrade the explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) detoxifies military sites contaminated with the munition when grown on these plots in a 3-year field trial.
