The herbal plant Salvia sclarea L. (clary sage) is classified to cadmium (Cd) accumulators and considered as a potential for phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soil. However, the effect Cd only treatment on function photosynthetic apparatus S. sclarea, well mechanisms involved in tolerance have not yet been studied detail. This study was conducted examine integrative responses plants exposed high supply (100 µM) 3 8 days by investigating element nutrient uptake, oxidative stress...

Salvia sclarea L. is a Cd2+ tolerant medicinal herb with antifungal and antimicrobial properties cultivated for its pharmacological properties. However, accumulation of high content in tissues increases the adverse health effects humans. Therefore, there serious demand to lower human intake. The purpose our study was evaluate mitigative role excess Zn2+ supply uptake/translocation toxicity clary sage. plants were treated (100 μM CdSO4) alone, combination (900 ZnSO4), modified Hoagland...

This study investigated the bioindicator potential of Amaranthus retroflexus L., Plantago lanceolata Rumex acetosa and Trifolium pratense L. including use Lolium multiflorum as a reference species, for heavy metal pollution monitoring, in particular Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb). Controlled contamination was applied through irrigation with nitrate solutions two levels (low high). The also focused on analyzing metals concentration plant tissues related physiological...

Abstract Biomass production and metal accumulation in plant tissue (bioconcentration) are two critical factors limiting the phytoextraction rate. Metal translocation to aboveground organs should be accounted for as third most important factor, harvesting of roots is usually economically disadvantageous. These three parameters could potentially increased with use companion planting, a well-known agricultural technique, inoculation growth–promoting bacteria (PGPB). The aim study was determine...

Five-day exposure of clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) to 100 μM cadmium (Cd) in hydroponics was sufficient increase Cd concentrations significantly roots and aboveground parts affect negatively whole plant levels calcium (Ca) magnesium (Mg), since competes for Ca channels, while reduced Mg are associated with increased tolerance. Total zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) uptake but their translocation the decreased. Despite substantial leaves, without any observed defects on chloroplast...

In recent years, due to the development of industrial and agricultural production, heavy metal contamination has attracted increasing attention. Aromatic medicinal plant Salvia sclarea L. (clary sage) is classified zinc (Zn) accumulators considered as a potential for phytoremediation polluted soils. this study, an adaptation clary sage 900 µM (excess) Zn exposure eight days in hydroponic culture was investigated. The tolerance mechanisms under excess were assessed by evaluating changes...

High light (HL) intensity has a substantial impact on energy flow and partitioning within photosynthetic apparatus. To realize the of HL zinc (Zn) tolerance mechanisms in clary sage (Salvia sclarea L., Lamiaceae) plants, we examined effect altered chlorophyll nutrient uptake under excess Zn supply response mechanism photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. Eight-week-old plants were treated with 5 μM (control) or 900 Hoagland solution. Leaf elemental analysis for Zn, Mn, Mg, Fe was performed by...

In this study, for a first time (according to our knowledge), we couple the methodologies of chlorophyll fluorescence imaging analysis (CF-IA) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), in order investigate effects cadmium (Cd) accumulation on photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. We used as plant material

Abstract Environmental pollution by heavy metals affects both urban and non-urban areas of Europe the world. The use bioindicator plants for detection these pollutants is a common practice. An important property potential bioindicators their easy availability wide distribution range, which means that they can be practically used over area. Therefore, widely distributed weeds: Trifolium pratense L., Rumex acetosa Amaranthus retroflexus Plantago lanceolata ornamental species Alcea rosea Lolium...

This study investigates the use of potassium-modified silicalite-1 as a catalyst for transesterification glycerol to carbonate (Glyc. Carbonate) with dimethyl (DMC). Silicalite-1, typically inactive due absence extra-framework cations, was modified potassium compounds (fluoride, chloride, and hydroxide), which create basic sites by interacting structural defects formed through silicon removal. modification significantly enhances catalyst’s performance in transesterification. The reaction...

Data on multi-trace element composition and content relationships have been obtained for Cantharellus cibarius, C. tubaeformis, minor mushrooms from Poland China by inductive coupled plasma-dynamic reaction cell-mass spectroscopy. There is no previous data published As, Li, V, Tl, U in chanterelles Ba, Co, Cr, Ni, Rb, Sr China. The results implied a role of the soil background geochemistry at collection site with occurrence Ag, Cs, Mn, Pb, Sr, U, V fruiting bodies. Both geogenic Cd...

Metal hyperaccumulating plants should have extremely efficient defense mechanisms, enabling growth and development in a polluted environment. Brassica species are known to display hyperaccumulation capability. juncea (Indiana mustard) v. Malopolska were exposed trace elements, i.e., cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), at concentration of 50 μM then harvested after 96 h for analysis. We observed high index tolerance (IT), higher than 90%, all B. treated with the four metals, we...

Clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) is a medicinal plant that has the potential to be used for phytoextraction of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) from contaminated soils by accumulating these metals in its tissues. Additionally, it been found more tolerant excess Zn than Cd stress alone; however, interactive effects combined treatment with on this herb, protective strategies alleviate toxicity have not yet established detail. In study, clary plants grown hydroponically were simultaneously exposed (900...

Mushrooms are considered as potential bio-remediation agents in soil polluted with heavy metals, while many species which efficiently accumulate them flesh edible. Question is if there any possible culinary use of edible mushrooms high metal contents? This study aimed to investigate and discuss a fate cadmium (Cd) common household-treated fruitbodies chanterelle Cantharellus cibarius. The samples cibarius Fr. were collected from five spatially distanced sites Poland 2011-2012. We examined...

Abstract Plant metal hyperaccumulators, to which Brassica juncea belongs, must have very efficient defence mechanisms that enable growth and development in an environment polluted with various heavy metals. B. (Indiana mustard) v. Małopolska was exposed the activity of trace elements such as cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) combinations: CuPb, CuCd, CuZn, PbCd, PbZn, ZnCd a concentration 25 μM each for 96 h during control cultivation. We observed clear tendency uptake...

The study was aimed to evaluate the influence of vascular disease, atherosclerotic obliterans (AO), on location and concentration elements in arterial wall serum. Use a modern method for studying element's distribution samples clinical material, i.e. laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, is presented. Elements are not equally distributed between inner (intima) outer (media + adventitia) layer wall. Among studied elements, calcium found have an unquestionable role...
