Medicinal and food plants as well their bioactive fractions have been used by diverse human cultures since ancient times. These provide multiple health benefits because of the presence a plethora phytochemicals including phenylpropanoids, isoprenoids, alkaloids, sulphated compounds, peptides polysaccharides that are responsible for various biological activities such anticancer, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, anti-dysenteric, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, anti-hypertensive...
Over the past few years, significant efforts have been made to decrease effects of drought stress on plant productivity and quality. We propose that fullerenol nanoparticles (FNPs, molecular formula C60(OH)24) may help alleviate by serving as an additional intercellular water supply. Specifically, FNPs are able penetrate leaf root tissues, where they bind in various cell compartments. This hydroscopic activity suggests could be beneficial plants. The aim present study was analyse influence...
Resurrection plants can survive prolonged life without water (anhydrobiosis) in regions with seasonal drying. This desiccation tolerance requires the coordination of numerous cellular processes across space and time, individual plant tissues face unique constraints related to their function. Here, we analyzed complex, octoploid genome model resurrection Craterostigma (C. plantagineum), surveyed spatial temporal expression dynamics identify genetic elements underlying tolerance. Homeologous...
Evidence exists that Cd and certain nutrient elements, such as Fe Mg, could share similar mechanisms of plant uptake accumulation. Here we report Mg deficiency in mature plants Salix viminalis, grown hydroponic solutions containing 5 µg ml−1 Cd, caused a significant increase accumulation roots, stems leaves. (µg g−1 dry weight) was determined following three treatments: 1) treatment complete solution; 2) with deficiency; 3) deficiency, yielding, respectively: young leaves (65.3, 76.1, 92.2),...
Celery (Appium graveolens L.) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss) are herbs utilized in the everyday diet as spices culinary flavorings, often used chemical medicinal industries. Despite knowing benefits of different plants from Apiaceae family, their composition is closely associated with various extrinsic factors. Environmental loading trace elements (TEs) can modify a plant’s metabolic pathways, change bioactive compounds production, cause plant pollution, consequently provoke...
Abstract The influence of cadmium (Cd) on physiological processes in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) and maize Zea mays plants exposed to either optimal mineral nutrition or the absence magnesium (Mg) as well accumulation plant organs were studied using method water culture a greenhouse. Cd treatment reduced shoot fresh mass more strongly Mg-supplied than Mg-deficient plants. Negative effect photosynthetic activity was pronounced T. Z. decreased leaf chlorophyll carotenoid concentration both...
During the past decade, target in cleaning polluted sites is an application of chelating agents, such as citric acid (CA), which proposed a good candidate promotion phytoremediation. Among heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) one most common and dangerous elements, strongly disturbs morphophysiological properties plants. A pot experiment was assessed to evaluate influence CA Cd phytoremediation alkaline soil by Salix viminalis (clone SV068). The effects on bioavailability, mobility, distribution...
Three willow species (Salix alba, Salix matsudana and nigra) were exposed to very high cadmium (Cd) concentrations in order define some physiological traits related biomass production. Plants grown hydroponically under semi-controlled conditions (greenhouse). It was assumed that leaves accumulate different amounts of Cd relation their age due the specific occurrence symptoms generated by accumulation. The rate photosynthesis concentration photosynthetic pigments young old correlated with...
Present work examines phytoextraction potential of four black locust families (half-sibs 54, 56, 115, and 135) grown hydroponically. Plants were treated with 6 ppm cadmium (Cd), 100 nickel (Ni), 40 lead (Pb) added in Hoagland nutrient solution, accompanying simultaneously applied all three metals. Responses to metals exposure among different, ranging from severe slight reduction root shoot biomass production plants. Calculated tolerance indices are indicating tested as highly tolerant (Ti >...
The aim of this study was to define effects cadmium (Cd) applied alone and in combination with citric acid, on the plant tolerance, accumulation, translocation photosynthesis willows (Salix viminalis, S. matsudana alba). Low metal bioavailability soil is often limiting factor for phytoextraction, thus acid used as a chelating agent aiming improve solubility therefore accelerates phytoextraction. Willows were grown by culture method semi-controlled conditions (greenhouse) two different Cd...
The heavy metal (cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium) and mineral element (potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium) levels in edible parts of tomato, potato, spinach, beetroot, parsley, parsnip, carrot, cauliflower, pepper broccoli were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Six samples for each species originating from different localities collected green markets. concentrations ranged <0.01 to 2.37, 7.72, 5.37 9.31 g/g cadmium, chromium, nickel respectively. order the...
are valuable source of vitamins, minerals and fibers important for healthy human nutrition. However, an increased level heavy metals in vegetables has been noticed recent years. This study was conducted with aim to analyze content metals, cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr) 11 vegetable species which the most common diet. Vegetables were collected from three green markets (Limanska, Futoska Riblja pijaca) Novi Sad, during September October, 2009 2011. Heavy metal contents analyzed edible...
Efficiency of water and soil phytoremediation often depends upon the proper selection species in some cases even adequate cultivar within selected species.This paper presents researches conducted during poplar willow clones for phytoremedation sediments.Selection focused on two types contamination: (1) nitrate groundwater freshwater (2) river sediments contamination.Results showed potential investigated through accumulation assimilation.Sediments waters with high amount wastewater efflux can...
Formation of root hairs involves the targeted recruitment cellular growth machinery to hair initiation domain (RHID), a specialized site at plasma membrane (PM) trichoblast cells. Early determinants in RHID establishment are small GTPases Rho-of-plants (ROP) protein family, which required for polarization downstream effectors, modification and secretion during tip growth. It remains, however, not fully understood how ROP themselves polarized. To investigate mechanism underlying ROP2...
