Abstract
The selection of appropriate plants and growth strategies is a key factor in improving the efficiency and universal applicability of phytoremediation. Sedum lineare grows rapidly and tolerates multiple adversities. The effects of inoculation of Acinetobacter sp. phosphate solubilizing bacteria P-1 and application of phosphate rock (PR) as additives on the remediation efficiency of As-contaminated soil by S. lineare were investigated. Compared with the control, both the single treatment and the combination of inoculation with strain P-1 and application of PR improved the biomass by 30.7-395.5%, chlorophyll content by 48.1-134.8%, total protein content by 12.5-92.4% and total As accumulation by 45.1-177.5%, and reduced the As-induced oxidative damage. Inoculation with strain P-1 increased the activities of superoxide dismutases and catalases of S. lineare under As stress, decreased the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in plant tissues and promoted the accumulation of As in roots. In contrast, simultaneous application of PR decreased As concentration in S. lineare tissues, attenuated As-induced lipid peroxidation and improved As transport to shoots. In addition, the combined application showed the best performance in improving resistance and biomass, which significantly increased root length by 149.1%, shoot length by 33%, fresh weight by 395.5% and total arsenic accumulation by 159.2%, but decreased the malondialdehyde content by 89.1%. Our results indicate that the combined application of strain P-1 and PR with S. lineare is a promising bioremediation strategy to accelerate phytoremediation of As-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Physical and chemical remediation techniques used in contaminated areas are expensive and damaging to the soil structure. Biological alternatives, such as phytoremediation, are economical and applicable to large areas. The main limitation of phytoremediation is identifying plants that are both capable of stabilizing and/or absorbing metals from soil and adapted to edaphoclimatic conditions of the contaminated areas. The objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of plant species adapted to Brazilian semi-arid conditions to grow in soils contaminated with Pb. A greenhouse experiment was carried out in a 4 × 5 factorial: four plant species (M. oleifera, P. juliflora, A. peregrina, and U. ruziziensis) and five Pb concentrations in soil (0.0; 0.52; 1.05; 2.10, and 4.20 g kg-1). All species grew at all Pb levels, but only P. juliflora and A. peregrina did not exhibit significant reductions in most growth variables. U. ruziziensis, despite showing reductions in growth variables, was the species with the highest dry matter accumulation in both shoots and roots, in addition to accumulating higher amounts of Pb. We conclude that the species P. juliflora, A. peregrina and U. ruziziensis are more suitable for cultivation in soils containing high levels of Pb.

Abstract
Abundant plant species in arid industrial areas are mining phyto-resources for sustainable phyto-management. However, the association with their rhizosphere is still poorly known for phytoremediation purposes. This study aims to assess the heavy metals (HMs) and metalloids uptake of Lygeum spartum Loefl. ex L. growing in cement plant vicinity and screen associated culturome for potential phytoremediation use. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF), the translocation factor (TF), and the mobility ratio (MR) were studied along with four sites. Lipid peroxidation (MDA), free proline (Pro), Non-protein thiols (NPTs), and reduced glutathione (GSH) were tested for evaluating the plant antioxidative response. Bacteria and fungi associated with L. spartum Loefl. ex L. were identified by 16S rRNA and fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-ITS2) gene sequencing. Our results showed an efficient uptake of As, Pb, and Zn and enhanced GSH (0.34 ± 0.03) and NPTs (528.7 ± 14.4 nmol g-1 FW) concentrations in the highly polluted site. No significant variation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) was found. Among 29 bacterial isolates, potential bioremediation were Bacillus simplex and Bacillus atrophaeus. Thus, L. spartum Loefl. ex L. and its associated microbiota have the potential for phytoremediation applications. Novelty statement: This work has been set in line with the investigation of the integrative biology of Lygeum spartum Loefl ex L. and the screening of its associated microbiome for potential phytoremediation applications. This work is the first work conducted in a cement plant vicinity investigating the associated fungi and bacteria of L. spartum Loefl. ex L. and been part of a sectorial research project since 2011, for assessing the impact of industrial pollution and recognizing the accumulation potential of plant species for further phyto-management applications.

Abstract
In different regions of the world, arsenic (As) contaminated soils poses a serious threat to plant growth and its physiological processes. Organic amendments are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to improve plant growth under stress conditions in contaminated soils. In As polluted acidic ultisol, a greenhouse trial was conducted to investigate the protective effects of peanut straw biochar (PSB) and canola straw biochar (CSB) on soybean mineral nutrition, antioxidant enzymes, and physiological growth parameters. The current study used eighteen treatments with different levels of As ((1) 0 mg kg-1, (2) 30 mg kg-1, (3) 60 mg kg-1) and biochar (PSB and CSB) (0%, 1%, and 2%). The result suggests that biochar addition under As stress in highly weathered acidic ultisol soil increased soybean growth attributes and defense mechanisms. The PSB was more effective than the CSB in a dose-dependent manner. The application of 2% PSB in polluted soil resulted in significant increases in soybean height (58%), biomass production (root (44%) and shoot length (52%)), chlorophyll contents (92%), soybean functional leaves (62%), total soluble sugars (TSS) (71%) and base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+). However, biochar application decreased proline, MDA, H2O2, and O2- by 64%, 82%, 49%, and 45% respectively. Furthermore, biochar application increased (Phosphate) P and As uptake in soybean, with PSB application exhibiting a greater increase than CSB application. As a result, crop straw-derived biochar can reduce As-induced soybean plant damage and insert a protective effect in As-contaminated acidic ultisol soils.

Abstract
In the current investigation, we presented the success of the modified hydrothermal method for synthesizing the iron-oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3-NPs) efficiently. These NPs were further characterized by using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX)/Mapping pattern, Raman Spectroscopy Pattern, ultra violet (UV) and Photoluminescence (PL). All these analyses revealed highly pure nature of Fe2O3-NPs with no internal defects, and suggested its application for plant growth improvement. Therefore, we further investigated the separate as well as combined effects of the Fe2O3-NPs and citric acid (CA) in the alleviation of arsenic (As) toxicity in the soybean (Glycine max L.), by evaluating the different plant growth and metabolic attributes. Results of our study revealed that As-induced growth inhibition, reduction of photosynthesis, water use efficiency (WUE), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation whereas application of the Fe2O3-NPs and CA significantly reversed all these adverse effects in soybean plants. Moreover, the As-stress induced malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production were partially reversed by the Fe2O3-NPs and CA in the As-stressed plants by 16% and 10% (MDA) and 29% and 12% (H2O2). This might have resulted due to the Fe2O3-NPs and CA induced activities of the antioxidant defense in plants. Overall, the Fe2O3-NPs and CA supplementation separately and in combination positively regulated the As tolerance in soybean; however, the effect of the combined application on the As tolerance was more profound relative to the individual application. These results suggested the synergetic effect of the Fe2O3-NPs and CA on the As-tolerance in soybean. However, in-depth mechanism underlying the defense crosstalk between the Fe2O3-NPs and CA needs to be further explored.

Abstract
The increasing expansion of mines, factories, and agricultural lands has caused many changes and pollution in soils and water of several parts of the world. In recent years, metal(loid)s are one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants, which directly and indirectly enters the food cycle of humans and animals, resulting in irreparable damage to their health and even causing their death. One of the most important missions of ecologists and environmental scientists is to find suitable solutions to reduce metal(loid)s pollution and prevent their spread and penetration in soil and groundwater. In recent years, phytoremediation was considered a cheap and effective solution to reducing metal(loid)s pollution in soil and water. Additionally, the effect of soil microorganisms on increasing phytoremediation was given special attention; therefore, this study attempted to investigate the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus in the phytoremediation system and in reducing contamination by some metal(loid)s in order to put a straightforward path in front of other researchers.

Abstract
Present study showed the successful application of the modified hydrothermal method for synthesizing the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) efficiently. Well as-synthesized ZnO-NPs are analyzed for various techniques viz., X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM micrographs, EDAX/Mapping pattern, Raman Spectroscopy Pattern, UV, Photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. All these measurements showed that ZnO-NPs are highly pure with no internal defects, and can be potentially used in the plant applications. Hence, we further determined the effect of these nanoparticles and melatonin for the modulation of the As tolerance in soybean plants by examining the various growth attributes and metabolic parameters. Our results demonstrated that As-stress inhibited growth (∼34%), photosynthesis-related parameters (∼18-28%) and induced ROS accumulation; however, all these attributes are substantially reversed by the ZnO-NPs and melatonin treatments. Moreover, the As stress induced malondialdehyde (MDA; 71%) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 82%) are partially reversed by the ZnO-NPs and melatonin in the As-stressed plants. This might have resulted due to the ZnO-NPs and melatonin induced activities of the antioxidants plant defense. Overall, the ZnO-NPs and melatonin supplementation separately and in combination positively regulated the As tolerance in soybean; however, the effect of their combined application on the As tolerance was more profound relative to the individual application. These results suggested the synergetic effect of the ZnO-NPs and melatonin on the As tolerance in soybean.

Abstract
We investigated the individual and combined contributions of two distinct heme proteins namely, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) on the tolerance of Lemna minor plants to antibiotics. For our investigation, we used specific inhibitors of these two H2O2-scavenging enzymes (p-aminophenol, 3-amino,1,2,4-triazole, and salicylic acid). APX activity was central for the tolerance of this aquatic plant to amoxicillin (AMX), whereas CAT activity was important for avoiding oxidative damage when exposed to ciprofloxacin (CIP). Both monitored enzymes had important roles in the tolerance of Lemna minor to erythromycin (ERY). The use of molecular kinetic approaches to detect and increase APX and/or CAT scavenging activities could enhance tolerance, and, therefore, improve the use of L. minor plants to reclaim antibiotics from water bodies.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and economical technology in which plants are used for the removal of contaminants presents in the urban and rural environment. One of the challenges of the technique is the proper destination of the biomass of plants. In this context, the use of ornamental plants in areas under contamination treatment improves landscape, serving as a tourist option and source of income with high added value. In addition to their high stress tolerance, rapid growth, high biomass production, and good root development, ornamental species are not intended for animal and human food consumption, avoiding the introduction of contaminants into the food web in addition to improving the environments with aesthetic value. Furthermore, ornamental plants provide multiple ecosystem services, and promote human well-being, while contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. In this review, we summarized the main uses of ornamental plants in phytoremediation of contaminated soil, air, and water. We discuss the potential use of ornamental plants in constructed buffer strips aiming to mitigate the contamination of agricultural lands occurring in the vicinity of sources of contaminants. Moreover, we underlie the ecological and health benefits of the use of ornamental plants in urban and rural landscape projects. This study is expected to draw attention to a promising decontamination technology combined with the beautification of urban and rural areas as well as a possible alternative source of income and diversification in horticultural production.

Abstract
The importance of phosphorus in the regulation of plant growth function is well studied. However, the role of the inorganic phosphate (Pi) molecule in the mitigation of abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heavy metal, heat, and acid stresses are poorly understood. We revisited peer-reviewed articles on plant growth characteristics that are phosphorus (P)-dependently regulated under the sufficient-P and low/no-P starvation alone or either combined with one of the mentioned stress. We found that the photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance decreased under Pi-starved conditions. The total chlorophyll contents were increased in the P-deficient plants, owing to the lack of Pi molecules to sustain the photosynthesis functioning, particularly, the Rubisco and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase function. The dry biomass of shoots, roots, and P concentrations were significantly reduced under Pi starvation with marketable effects in the cereal than in the legumes. To mitigate P stress, plants activate alternative regulatory pathways, the Pi-dependent glycolysis, and mitochondrial respiration in the cytoplasm. Plants grown under well-Pi supplementation of drought stress exhibited higher dry biomass of shoots than the no-P treated ones. The Pi supply to plants grown under heavy metals stress reduced the metal concentrations in the leaves for the cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), but could not prevent them from absorbing heavy metals from soils. To detoxify from heavy metal stress, plants enhance the catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activity that prevents lipid peroxidation in the leaves. The HvPIP and PHO1 genes were over-expressed under both Pi starvation alone and Pi plus drought, or Pi plus salinity stress combination, implying their key roles to mediate the stress mitigations. Agronomy Pi-based interventions to increase Pi at the on-farm levels were discussed. Revisiting the roles of P in growth and its better management in agricultural lands or where P is supplemented as fertilizer could help the plants to survive under abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Antibiotics are considered one of the greatest advances of medicine and, in addition to their use in treating a wide spectrum of illnesses, they have been widely employed to promote animal growth. As many of those pharmaceuticals are only partially absorbed by the digestive system, a considerable fraction is excreted in its original active form or only partially metabolized. Therefore, the use of animal excrement in agriculture represents one of the principal routes of insertion of antibiotics into the environment. Within that context, plants, principally those of agricultural interest, will be exposed to those compounds when present in the soil or when irrigated with contaminated water. Although not yet fully understood, there are reports of phytotoxic effects of antibiotics that can diminish agricultural production. This review is designed to provide a general and integrative overview of physiological alterations observed in plants caused by environmental exposures to veterinary-use antibiotics. This text principally focuses on the processes involved in antibody absorption and accumulation, and their effects on the primary (photosynthesis, respiration, nitrogen assimilation) and oxidative metabolisms of plants. We also bring attention to germinative and plant establishment processes under conditions of antibiotic contamination. The different effects of different antibiotics on plant physiology are listed here to provide a better understanding of their phytotoxicities.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 203:111025. [PMID: 32888593 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
We investigated individual and combined effects of environmentally representative concentrations of amoxicillin (AMX; 2 μg l-1), enrofloxacin (ENR; 2 μg l-1), and oxytetracycline (OXY; 1 μg l-1) on the aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor. While the concentrations of AMX and ENR tested were not toxic, OXY decreased plant growth and cell division. OXY induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation and related oxidative stress through its interference with the activities of mitochondria electron transport chain enzymes, although those deleterious effects could be ameliorated by the presence of AMX and/or ENR, which prevented the overaccumulation of ROS by increasing catalase enzyme activity. L. minor plants accumulated significant quantities of AMX, ENR and OXY from the media, although competitive uptakes were observed when plants were submitted to binary or tertiary mixtures of those antibiotics. Our results therefore indicate L. minor as a candidate for phytoremediation of service waters contaminated by AMX, ENR, and/or OXY.

Abstract
The synergistic relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant species may play a key role in phytoremediation of arsenic(As)-contaminated soils. By using modified Leonard jars, we investigated both the distinct and integrative roles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF-Acaulospora scrobiculata) and rhizobia (BH-ICB-A8) isolated from As-contaminated soil on the capacity of Anadenanthera peregrina to reclaim arsenate [As(V)] from soil. AMF inoculation greatly increased plant phosphorous nutrition, as reflected in greater growth, and increased As-concentrations in the roots and shoots. While rhizobia inoculation alone increased nitrogen nutrition it did not promote plant growth or As-uptake. Rhizobia and AMF inoculation together had synergistic effects, however, increasing both the growth and the As-phytoremediation capacity of A. peregrina. Joint inoculation with rhizobia and AMF should therefore be considered a potential technique for rehabilitating As-contaminated areas using A. peregrina.

Abstract
Metal(loid) accumulation in soils, is of increasing concern because of the potential human health risks. Therefore, metal(loid) contaminated sites need rehabilitation. It is becoming increasingly popular to use phytoremediation methods for the reclamation of sites containing metal(loid)s. However, plant establishment and growth on contaminated soils can be difficult due to high metal(loid) concentrations and poor fertility conditions. Consequently, amendments, like biochar and iron sulphate, must be applied. Biochar, obtained from plant biomass or animal wastes pyrolyzed under minimal oxygen supply, showed beneficial effects on soil properties and plant growth. Iron sulphate can effectively immobilize anions, thus mitigating metal(loid) toxicity and hence promoting plant development. This study aimed to assess the effect of two different modalities of biochar amendment application (top third of the tube and all tube height) combined with iron sulphate addition on the physico-chemical properties of a mining polluted soil and the growth and metal(loid) uptake of three Salicaceae species. A 1.5 year mesocosm experiment under field condition was conducted using a former tin mine contaminated by arsenic, amended with biochar and iron sulphate and vegetated with three Salicaceae species. Results showed that the combination of biochar and iron sulphate improved soil characteristics by increasing pH and electrical conductivity and reducing soil pore water metal(loid) concentrations. Between the two biochar application methods, the addition of biochar on the all tube height showed better results. But for such contaminated soil, biochar, in combination with iron sulphate, had no positive effect on plant growth, for all species tested and especially when incorporating on the top third of the tube. Finally, S. purpurea presented high root metal(loid) concentrations associated to the better growth compared to P. euramericana and S. viminalis, making it a better candidate for phytostabilization of the studied soil.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of Ca(H2PO4)2, KH2PO4 and (NH4)2HPO4 on growth, Cu phytoextraction and tolerance of Leersia hexandra swartz (L. hexandra) under different Cu stress levels were investigated. The results showed that KH2PO4 could most significantly increase the plant height of L. hexandra (p < 0.05), while (NH4)2HPO4 had the most significant promoting effect on its biomass (p < 0.05) by enhancing photosynthesis (chlorophyll content) (p < 0.01). The application of Ca(H2PO4)2 could most significantly improve the Cu contents in roots, stems and leaves of L. hexandra (p < 0.05). In addition, (NH4)2HPO4 could enhance the tolerance of L. hexandra to Cu by obviously reducing the content of MDA and increasing the contents of SP and MTs (p < 0.05), while Ca(H2PO4)2 could evidently improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT and APX) to reduce the damage of Cu to L. hexandra (p < 0.05). Although KH2PO4 could increase the contents of SP and MTs, the L. hexandra in KH2PO4 treatment groups had the highest MDA contents, which was unfavorable to the resistance to Cu stress. These suggested that the application in combination of Ca(H2PO4)2 and (NH4)2HPO4 may be more advantageous for Cu phytoextraction by L. hexandra.

Arsenic Accumulation in Grafted Melon Plants: Role of Rootstock in Modulating Root-To-Shoot Translocation and Physiological Response. AGRONOMY-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
The bio-agronomical response, along with the arsenic (As) translocation and partitioning were investigated in self-grafted melon “Proteo”, or grafted onto three interspecific (“RS841”, “Shintoza”, and “Strong Tosa”) and two intraspecific hybrids (“Dinero” and “Magnus”). Plants were grown in a soilless system and exposed to two As concentrations in the nutrient solution (0.002 and 3.80 mg L−1, referred to as As− and As+) for 30 days. The As+ treatment lowered the aboveground dry biomass (−8%, on average), but the grafting combinations differed in terms of photosynthetic response. As regards the metalloid absorption, the rootstocks revealed a different tendency to uptake As into the root, where its concentration varied from 1633.57 to 369.10 mg kg−1 DW in “Magnus” and “RS841”, respectively. The high bioaccumulation factors in root (ranging from 97.13 to 429.89) and the low translocation factors in shoot (from 0.015 to 0.071) and pulp (from 0.002 to 0.008) under As+, showed a high As mobility in the substrate–plant system, and a lower mobility inside the plants. This tendency was higher in the intraspecific rootstocks. Nonetheless, the interspecific “RS841” proved to be the best rootstock in maximizing yield and minimizing, at the same time, the As concentration into the fruit.

Abstract
High concentration of arsenic (As) in rice is a serious problem worldwide. Pot experiments were conducted to assess the potential dietary toxicity of arsenic and effect of various soil amendments on arsenic accumulation in rice grains. Two basmati rice genotypes were used to conduct pot experiments using various levels of arsenic (10, 25, 50 and 100 mg kg-1 soil). In addition, plants were exposed to soil collected from a well documented arsenic contaminated site. Contrasting results for growth, yield and grain arsenic concentration were obtained for basmati-385 (Bas-385), exhibiting tolerance (56% yield improvement at 10 mg As kg-1), while genotype BR-1 showed 18% yield decline under same conditions. Furthermore, application of soil amendments such as iron (Fe), phosphate (PO4) and farmyard manure (FYM) at 50 mg kg-1, 80 kg ha-1 and 10 t ha-1, respectively improved the plant height and biomass in both genotypes. Accumulation of arsenic in rice grain followed a linear trend in BR-1 whereas a parabolic relationship was observed in Bas-385. Both genotypes exhibited a positive response to iron sulfate amendment with significant reduction in grain arsenic concentrations. Regression analysis gave soil arsenic threshold values of 12 mg kg-1 in Bas-385 and 10 mg kg-1 in BR-1 for potential dietary toxicity. This study suggests that genotype Bas-385 can be used for safe rice production in areas with soil arsenic contamination up to 12 mg kg-1 and that appropriate dose of iron sulfate for soil amendment can be used effectively to reduce translocation of arsenic to rice grain.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of aquatic contaminants, such as antibiotics and herbicides, has motivated investigations into their interactive effects on aquatic organisms. We examined the combined effects of environmental concentrations of the antibiotic Enrofloxacin (Enro; 0-2.25 μg l-1) and Roundup OriginalDI (Roundup®; 0-0.75 μg active ingredient l-1), a glyphosate based-herbicide, on Elodea canadensis. Enro alone was not toxic, but the plants were highly sensitive to Roundup® whose toxicity is related to the induction of oxidative stress. The metabolism of Enro by plants into Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) was observed, and although former is not phytotoxic, oxidative events associated with Cipro generation were observed. The activity of cytochrome P450 was shown to be involved in Enro degradation in E. canadensis. As a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, Roundup® decreases Enro metabolism in plants. Enro, in turn, increases glyphosate uptake and toxicity, so that Enro and Roundup® have synergistic effects, disrupting the physiological processes of E. canadensis. Our results suggest E. canadensis as a potential candidate for the reclamation of Enro in contaminated waters, but not for Roundup® due to its high sensitivity to that herbicide.

Abstract
Soil arsenic (As) contamination is a serious concern because of its mark negative impacts on plant growth and physiological processes. In plant-soil system, As competes against phosphorus (P) which depends on charge component of different soil types. The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of ((NH4)3PO4 (PO43-) and Ca5(PO4)3(OH) (phosphorite)) in ameliorating As stress on plant physiological process against As toxicity and their role in As accumulation. We performed eighteen treatments with different levels of As (0, 35, and 70 mg/kg) and P (0, 100, and 200 mg/kg) against two P sources of PO43- and phosphorite. Overall, more improvement in plant growth was observed by addition of PO43- than phosphorite. Significant increases in plant height (51%), dry biomass (root (49%) and shoot (40%)), chlorophyll contents (88%), total soluble sugars (58%) and plant functional leaves (51%) were observed by PO43- application as compared to their corresponding un-fertilized treatment under As stress conditions. However, proline and MDA contents were decreased by 49% and 71% with PO43- applied, respectively, under As stress. The As and P uptake by soybean were remarkably enhanced by the application of PO43- than phosphorite. Therefore, highly soluble P supplementation has great potential to minimize As-induced damage to plant growth in acidic soils and improve As uptake by plants. The findings obtained in present study will be used as an important tool for amelioration of As polluted acidic soils.

Abstract
Background Alleviating arsenic (As) contamination is a high-priority environmental issue. Hyperaccumulator plants may harbor endophytic bacteria able to detoxify As. Therefore, we investigated the distribution, diversity, As (III) resistance levels, and resistance-related functional genes of arsenite-resistant bacterial endophytes in Pteris vittata L. growing in a lead-zinc mining area with different As contamination levels. Results A total of 116 arsenite-resistant bacteria were isolated from roots of P. vittata with different As concentrations. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of representative isolates, the isolates belonged to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes. Major genera found were Agrobacterium, Stenotrophomonas, Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, and Bacillus. The most highly arsenite-resistant bacteria (minimum inhibitory concentration > 45 mM) were isolated from P. vittata with high As concentrations and belonged to the genera Agrobacterium and Bacillus. The strains with high As tolerance also showed high levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production and carried arsB/ACR3(2) genes. The arsB and ACR3(2) were most likely horizontally transferred among the strains. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that P. vittata plants with high As concentrations may select diverse arsenite-resistant bacteria; this diversity might, at least partly, be a result of horizontal gene transfer. These diverse endophytic bacteria are potential candidates to enhance phytoremediation techniques.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of arsenate and phosphate interaction on growth, lipid peroxidation, arsenic (As) accumulation, phosphorus (P) accumulation, and the activities of some antioxidant enzymes in Isatis cappadocica. Plants were exposed to (50-1200 μmol L-1) arsenate and (5-1600 μmol L-1) phosphate for 28 days in a hydroponic system. At a phosphate concentration of 1600 µM, biomass production and chlorophyll content increased, demonstrating clearly that phosphate was able to provide protection against As toxicity. In case of joint application of 1600 µM phosphate with arsenate, the As accumulation and then lipid peroxidation were decreased when compared to samples treated with arsenate and 5 µM phosphate. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) increased with increasing arsenate supply levels. Addition of P decreased activities of SOD, APX and CAT, while high phosphate treatments had a positive effect on GR activity, which may be due to regulation of glutathione biosynthesis within the plants. In conclusion, high arsenate treatment (800-1200 µM) could cause an increasing oxidative stress, which can be scavenged by the antioxidant enzyme. Furthermore, P may affect As-induced oxidative stress through nutrient condition and As accumulation.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to explore arsenic (As) tolerance and phytostabilization potential of the two tree species, buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) and eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides). Both plant species were grown in pots and were exposed to various soil As levels (control, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg kg-1). The plants were harvested after 9 months for the evaluation of growth parameters as well as root and shoot As concentrations. With increasing soil As levels, plant height stress tolerance index (PHSTI) was significantly decreased in both tree species, whereas root length stress tolerance index (RLSTI) and dry matter stress tolerance index (DMSTI) were not affected. Root and shoot As concentrations significantly increased in both tree species with increasing soil As levels. Translocation factor and bioconcentration factor were less than 1.0 for both plant species. This study revealed that both tree species are non-hyperaccumulators of As, but they could be used for phytostabilization of As-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Objetive: Arsenic (As) and fluoride (F) are found in groundwater and soils around the world, causing different problems to crops. Because these elements compete against phosphorus (P) in soils and plants, their relationship is complex. The aim of this work was to study the oxidative stress of soybean plants subjected to different concentrations of As and F, and the effect of P. METHODS The following 10 treatments were carried out in each of two soils with different P content: three As levels (low 10 mg As kg-1, medium 50 mg As kg-1 and high 100 mg As kg-1), three F levels (low 160 mg F kg-1, medium 250 mg F kg-1 and high 500 mg F kg-1) and three As + F levels (same concentrations), and the control treatment (soil with the background As and F concentrations) Lipid peroxidation, chlorophyll, gluthatione contents and antioxidant enzymes activities were determination. RESULTS Increased lipid peroxidation and alterations in glutathione content, catalase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities as well as in chlorophyll content revealed that As causes higher oxidative stress in plants grown in soils with low P content. CONCLUSION Stress parameters in F treatments were less affected. Plants grown in soils enriched with P revealed a decrease in the toxic effects caused by As and F.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the potential role of phosphate (P; 0, 50, 100 mg kg-1) on growth, gas exchange attributes, and photosynthetic pigments of Brassica napus and Brassica juncea under arsenic (As) stress (0, 25, 50, 75 mg kg-1) in a pot experiment. Results revealed that phosphate supplementation (P100) to As-stressed plants significantly increased shoot As concentration, dry biomass yield, and As uptake, in addition to the improved morphological and gas exchange attributes and photosynthetic pigments over P0. However, phosphate-assisted increase in As uptake was substantially (up to two times) greater for B. napus, notably due to higher shoot As concentration and dry biomass yield, compared to B. juncea at the P100 level. While phosphate addition in soil (P100) led to enhanced shoot As concentration in B. juncea, it reduced shoot dry biomass, primarily after 50 and 75 mg kg-1 As treatments. The translocation factor and bioconcentration factor values of B. napus were higher than B. juncea for all As levels in the presence of phosphate. This study demonstrates that phosphate supplementation has a potential to improve As phytoextraction efficiency, predominantly for B. napus, by minimizing As-induced damage to plant growth, as well as by improving the physiological and photosynthetic attributes.

Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inoculation is considered a potential biotechnological tool for an eco-friendly remediation of hazardous contaminants. However, the mechanisms explaining how AM fungi attenuate the phytotoxicity of metal(oid)s, in particular arsenic (As), are still not fully understood. The influence of As on plant growth and the antioxidant system was studied in Leucaena leucocephala plants inoculated with different isolates of AM fungi and exposed to increasing concentrations of As (0, 35, and 75 mg dm-3) in a Typic Quartzipsamment soil. The study was conducted under greenhouse conditions using isolates of AM fungi selected from uncontaminated soils (Acaulospora morrowiae, Rhizophagus clarus, Gigaspora albida; and a mixed inoculum derived from combining these isolates, named AMF Mix) as well as a mix of three isolates from an As-contaminated soil (A. morrowiae, R. clarus, and Paraglomus occultum). After 21 weeks, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR) were determined in the shoots in addition to measuring plant height and mineral contents. In general, AM fungi have shown multiple beneficial effects on L. leucocephala growth. Although the activity of most of the stress-related enzymes increased in plants associated with AM fungi, the percentage increase caused by adding As to the soil was even greater for non-mycorrhizal plants when compared to AM-fungi inoculated ones, which highlights the phytoprotective effect provided by the AM symbiosis. The highest P/As ratio observed in AM-fungi plants, compared to non-mycorrhizal ones, can be considered a good indicator that the AM fungi alter the pattern of As(V) uptake from As-contaminated soil. Our results underline the role of AM fungi in increasing the tolerance of L. leucocephala to As stress and emphasize the potential of the symbiosis L. leucocephala-R. clarus for As-phytostabilization at moderately As-contaminated soils.

Abstract
We studied the physiological mechanisms involved in the deleterious effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide (Factor® 540) on photosynthesis and related physiological processes of willow (Salix miyabeana cultivar SX64) plants. Sixty-day-old plants grown under greenhouse conditions were sprayed with different rates (0, 1.4, 2.1, and 2.8 kg a.e ha-1) of the commercial glyphosate formulated salt Factor® 540. Evaluations were performed at 0, 6, 24, 48, and 72 h after herbicide exposure. We established that the herbicide decreases chlorophyll, carotenoid and plastoquinone contents, and promotes changes in the photosynthetic apparatus leading to decreased photochemistry which results in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation. H2O2 accumulation triggers proline production which can be associated with oxidative protection, NADP+ recovery and shikimate pathway stimulation. Ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase appeared to be the main peroxidases involved in the H2O2 scavenging. In addition to promoting decreases of the activity of the antioxidant enzymes, the herbicide induced decreases in ascorbate pool. For the first time, a glyphosate-based herbicide mode of action interconnecting its effects on shikimate pathway, photosynthetic process and oxidative events in plants were presented.

Abstract
Phosphate (PO4(3-)) has been shown to increase glyphosate uptake by willow, a plant species known for its phytoremediation potential. However, it remains unclear if this stimulation of glyphosate uptake can result in an elevated glyphosate toxicity to plants (which could prevent the use of willows in glyphosate-remediation programs). Consequently, we studied the effects of PO4(3-) on glyphosate uptake and toxicity in a fast growing willow cultivar (Salix miyabeana SX64). Plants were grown in hydroponic solution with a combination of glyphosate (0, 0.001, 0.065 and 1 mg l(-1)) and PO4(3-) (0, 200 and 400 mg l(-1)). We demonstrated that PO4(3-) fertilization greatly increased glyphosate uptake by roots and its translocation to leaves, which resulted in increased shikimate concentration in leaves. In addition to its deleterious effects in photosynthesis, glyphosate induced oxidative stress through hydrogen peroxide accumulation. Although it has increased glyphosate accumulation, PO4(3-) fertilization attenuated the herbicide's deleterious effects by increasing the activity of antioxidant systems and alleviating glyphosate-induced oxidative stress. Our results indicate that in addition to the glyphosate uptake, PO4(3-) is involved in glyphosate toxicity in willow by preventing glyphosate induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Mercury is a very dangerous metal when humans come into contact with it, whether through the air or skin or by ingestion. The aim of this work was to investigate the possible effects of the ethanol extract and fractions of Lygodium venustum Sw. against mercurium chloride toxicity towards Escherichia coli strain ATCC25922. The polyphenols and flavonoids present in the extract and fractions were quantified in mg equivalent of gallic acid/g sample and mg equivalent of quercetin/g sample, respectively. The in vitro FRAP method demonstrated the antioxidant activity of the samples. The antibacterial activity of the natural products was evaluated by microdilution method and by assays to elucidate the possible cytoprotective action when combining the natural products samples and mercurium chloride, utilizing the extract and fractions at a subinhibitory concentration. The results obtained in this work indicate that the ethanol extract and fractions of L. venustum are an alternative source of natural products with cytoprotective action, where this protection is correlated with antioxidant and chelating activity, due to the presence of total phenols and flavonoids.

Abstract
Acacia farnesiana is a shrub widely distributed in soils heavily polluted with arsenic in Mexico. However, the mechanisms by which this species tolerates the phytotoxic effects of arsenic are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the tolerance and bioaccumulation of As by A. farnesiana seedlings exposed to high doses of arsenate (AsV) and the role of peroxidases (POX) and glutathione S-transferases (GST) in alleviating As-stress. For that, long-period tests were performed in vitro under different AsV treatments. A. farnesiana showed a remarkable tolerance to AsV, achieving a half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) of about 2.8 mM. Bioaccumulation reached about 940 and 4380 mg As·kg(-1) of dry weight in shoots and roots, respectively, exposed for 60 days to 0.58 mM AsV. Seedlings exposed to such conditions registered a growth delay during the first 15 days, when the fastest As uptake rate (117 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) occurred, coinciding with both the highest rate of lipid peroxidation and the strongest up-regulation of enzyme activities. GST activity showed a strong correlation with the As bioaccumulated, suggesting its role in imparting AsV tolerance. This study demonstrated that besides tolerance to AsV, A. farnesiana bioaccumulates considerable amounts of As, suggesting that it may be useful for phytostabilization purposes.

Abstract
Phosphate (PO4(3-)) fertilization is a common practice in agricultural fields also targets for glyphosate application. Due to their chemical similarities, PO4(3-) and glyphosate compete for soil adsorbing sites, with PO4(3-) fertilization increasing glyphosate bioavailability in the soil solution. After PO4(3-) fertilization, its concentration will be elevated in the soil solution and both PO4(3-) and glyphosate will be readily available for runoff into aquatic ecosystems. In this context, man-made riparian buffer strips (RBS) at the interface of agricultural lands and waterways can be used as a green technology to mitigate water contamination. The plants used in RBS form a barrier to agricultural wastes that can limit runoff, and the ability of these plants to take up these compounds through their roots plays an important role in RBS efficacy. However, the implications of PO4(3-) for glyphosate uptake by roots are not yet clearly demonstrated. Here, we addressed this problem by hydroponically cultivating willow plants in nutrient solutions amended with glyphosate and different concentrations of PO4(3-), assuring full availability of both chemicals to the roots. Using a phosphate carrier inhibitor (phosphonophormic acid-PFA), we found that part of the glyphosate uptake is mediated by PO4(3-) transporters. We observed, however, that PO4(3-) increased glyphosate uptake by roots, an effect that was related to increased root cell membrane stability. Our results indicate that PO4(3-) has an important role in glyphosate physiological effects. Under agricultural conditions, PO4(3-) fertilization can amplify glyphosate efficiency by increasing its uptake by the roots of undesired plants. On the other hand, since simultaneous phosphate and glyphosate runoffs are common, non-target species found near agricultural fields can be affected.

Abstract
Arsenic (As), cited as the most hazardous substance by the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR, 2005), is an ubiquitous metalloid which when ingested for prolonged periods cause extensive health effects leading to ultimate untimely death. Plants and microbes can help mitigate soil and groundwater As problem since they have evolved elaborate detoxification machineries against this toxic metalloid as a result of their coexistence with this since the origin of life on earth. Utilization of the phytoremediation and bioremediation potential of the plants and microbes, respectively, is now regarded as two innovative tools that encompass biology, geology, biotechnology and allied sciences with cutting edge applications for sustainable mitigation of As epidemic. Discovery of As hyperaccumulating plants that uptake and concentrate large amounts of this toxic metalloid in their shoots or roots offered new hope to As phytoremediation, solar power based nature's own green remediation. This review focuses on how phytoremediation and bioremediation can be merged together to form an integrated phytobial remediation which could synergistically achieve the goal of large scale removal of As from soil, sediment and groundwater and overcome the drawbacks of the either processes alone. The review also points to the feasibility of the introduction of transgenic plants and microbes that bring new hope for more efficient treatment of As. The review identifies one critical research gap on the importance of remediation of As contaminated groundwater not only for drinking purpose but also for irrigation purpose and stresses that more research should be conducted on the use of constructed wetland, one of the most suitable areas of application of phytobial remediation. Finally the review has narrowed down on different phytoinvestigation and phytodisposal methods, which constitute the most essential and the most difficult part of pilot scale and field scale applications of phytoremediation programs.

[PMID: 24866559 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2014.05.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2014] [Revised: 04/10/2014] [Accepted: 05/08/2014] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
We investigated if plant nutrition and antioxidant system activation are correlated features of arsenic (As)-tolerance in Myracrodruom urundeuva. Plants were grown for 120 days in substrates with 0, 10, 50 and 100mg Askg(-1) and its As-tolerance was demonstrated. As-concentrations greater than 10mgkg(-1) decreased plant growth and photosynthesis but did not induce plant death. Plants coupled alterations in stomatal conductance and transpiration to avoid As-deleterious effects to the photosynthetic apparatus. As-toxicity in M. urundeuva was due to lipid peroxidation induced by hydrogen peroxide accumulation. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and gluthatione peroxidase (GPX) had central roles in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging in leaves, and their activities were linked to changes in redox potentials (ascorbate and glutathione pools). APX and GPX inactivation/degeneration led to H2O2 accumulation and related lipid peroxidation. Increased phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) concentrations in leaves were related to increased APX and GPX activities by stimulating increases in glutathione biosynthesis. We concluded that P and S nutrition were directly linked to As-tolerance in M. urundeuva plants by increasing antioxidant system activities.
