Plants have to cope with different biotic and abiotic stresses, such as the attacks of pathogens herbivores, high irradiance, droughts, salt stress or nutrient deficiencies throughout their lifetime. These environmental perturbations lead regulation "primary" "secondary" carotenoid network. The formers are produced stored in plastids they necessary for photosynthesis related functions. Otherwise, secondary carotenoids derivatives primary carotenoids. They perform other important functions...
Soils functionality (health) and productivity (quality) are severely impaired by the rapid growth of human population fact that most cultivable land is intensively used, whether for urbanization or meet food requirements, with consequent rise in solid liquid wastes consumption agricultural soils. However, these issues, far from being independently handled, can be jointly addressed an integrated sustainable management soil resource framework circular economy phytomanagement. Currently...
Despite being a small geographic extension, Mediterranean Basin is characterized by an exceptional plant biodiversity. Adaptive responses of this biocoenosis are delineated unusual temporal dissociation along the year between optimal temperature for growth and water availability. This fact generates combination two environmental stress factors: period summer drought, variable in length intensity, occurrence mild to cold winters. Both abiotic factors, trigger generation (photo)oxidative...
Soils of abandoned and vacant lands in the periphery cities are frequently subjected to illegal dumping can undergo degradation processes such as depletion organic matter nutrients, reduced biodiversity, presence contaminants, which may exert an intense abiotic stress on biological communities. Mycorrhizal-assisted phytoremediation intercropping strategies highly suitable options for remediation these sites. A two-year field experiment was conducted at a peri-urban site contaminated with...
Heavy metal contaminated sites are frequently characterized by the simultaneous presence of several heavy metals. However, many studies report metal-induced plant responses after long-term exposure to just one metal. By contrast, whole genome expression microarrays were employed here investigate early (3 h) transcriptional Arabidopsis thaliana plants exposed polymetallic treatment (Pb, Hg, Cu, Cd, Co, Ni, Zn, and Mn) at low (L) high (H) concentrations. After 3 h treatment, a total 1315...
The remediation of soils simultaneously contaminated with organic and inorganic compounds is still a challenging task. application metallic nanoparticles, such as zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI), for soil highly promising, but their effectiveness potential ecotoxicity must be further investigated. In addition, the performance nZVI when combined other strategies topic great interest. Here, we present data on chemical (pseudo-total CaCl2-extractable metal concentrations; petroleum...
Landfills and waste disposal sites in the Basque Country are summarized inventory of soils that either currently support or have supported potentially polluting activities facilities (Law 4/2015). Notably, “Landfill 17,” located Gernika-Lumo, has been receiving, for decades, sewage sludges from local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) as agricultural amendment. In order to decontaminate recover soil functionality, a combination bioremediation (which involved bioagumentation phyto-...
Este trabajo examina discusiones de aula un grupo escolares segundo curso Educación Primaria implicados en una actividad indagación experimental. Se han analizado manera simultánea las preguntas la docente y operaciones epistémicas realizadas por los estudiantes. Nuestros resultados muestran que productivas estrategias dialógicas utilizadas maestra son determinantes para promover vinculadas a indagación. Además, comparación con control no participó el diseño del experimento ni durante...
Fuels from renewable biological resources are currently being used as an alternative or complement to petroleum-derived fossil fuels. The objective of this work was investigate the degradation dynamics commercially-available biodiesel blends (containing 1, 5 16% biodiesel, i.e. B1, B5 and B16) in soil simultaneously polluted with metals blends. To purpose, artificially 6,000 mg blend per kg DW (B1, a mixture metals: 1,500 Zn kg−1 + 500 Cu 50 Cd soil. Artificially-polluted soils were then...
Soil metal contamination in recreational shooting ranges represents a widespread environmental problem. Lead (Pb) is the primary component of traditional ammunition, followed by metalloids such as antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As). Lead-based bullets pellets deposited on soil surface are subject to steady weathering; hence, metal(loid)s released accumulated underlying soil, with potential adverse consequences for ecosystem function human health. Amongst currently available environmentally-safe...
Iraunkorrak eta (eko)toxikoak izan ohi diren konposatu ez-organiko organikoen isurketa masiboek potentzialki kutsatuta egon daitezkeen lurzoruen kopurua izugarri handitu dute. Lurzoruen osasuna (funtzionalitatea) kalitatea (emankortasuna) arrisku larrian egoteak eta, ondorioz, giza biziraupena estutasunean jartzeak lurzoru kutsatuen kudeaketa eraginkorra mundu mailako ingurumen-politiken premiazko jomugan paratu du. Gaian sartuta, lan honen helburu nagusiak hauek dira: (i) kudeaketaren lege...
