Metal contaminated soils are increasing worldwide. Metal-tolerant plants growing on metalliferous fascinating genetic and microbial resources. Seeds can vertically transmit endophytic microorganisms that assist next generations to cope with environmental stresses, through yet poorly understood mechanisms. The aims of this study were identify the core seed endophyte microbiome pioneer metallophyte Crotalaria pumila throughout three generations, better understand plant colonisation...
AbstractThe aim of this research was to identify wild plant species applicable for remediation mine tailings in arid soils. Plants growing on two were identified and evaluated their potential use phytoremediation based the concentration potentially toxic elements (PTEs) roots shoots, bioconcentration (BCF) translocation factors (TF). Total, water-soluble DTPA-extractable concentrations Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Co Ni rhizospheric bulk soil determined. Twelve can grow tailings, accumulate PTEs above...
Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) have received increasing attention due to their widespread therapeutic and agricultural applicability. In the environmental field, dry powder- ferrofluid-suspended cobalt NPs were found be useful for removing heavy metals metalloids from water, while diluted suspensions of NP been promisingly applied in medicine. However, potential toxicological implications exposure are still unknown. Since considered residual wastes or medical applications, plants may...
Soil pollution is an important ecological problem worldwide. Phytoremediation environmental-friendly option for reducing metal pollution. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the growth and physiological response, uptake, phytostabilization potential of a nontoxic Jatropha curcas L. genotype when grown in multimetal-polluted conditions. Plants were established on mine residue (MR) amended or not with corn biochar (B) inoculated mycorrhizal fungus Acaulospora sp. (arbuscular...
Bacterial endophytes (120) were isolated from six halophytes (Distichlis spicata, Cynodon dactylon, Eragrostis obtusiflora, Suaeda torreyana, Kochia scoparia, and Baccharis salicifolia). These halophiles molecularly identified characterized with or without NaCl conditions. Characterization was based on tests such as indole acetic acid (IAA), exopolysaccharides (EPS), siderophores (SID) production; solubilization of phosphate (P), potassium (K), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn); mineralization...
