Abstract
There is a lack of studies on the ability of plants to metabolize chlorinated organic pollutants (COPs) and the dynamic expression changes of metabolic molecules during degradation. In this study, hybrid rice Chunyou 927 (CY) and Zhongzheyou 8 (ZZY), traditional rice subsp. Indica Baohan 1 (BH) and Xiangzaoxian 45 (XZX), and subsp. Japonica Yangjing 687 (YJ) and Longjing 31 (LJ) were stressed by a typical COPs of lindane and then transferred to a lindane-free culture to incubate for 9 days. The cumulative concentrations in the roots of BH, XZX, CY, ZZY, YJ and LJ were 71.46, 65.42, 82.06, 80.11, 47.59 and 56.10 mg·kg-1, respectively. And the degradation ratios on day 9 were 87.89 %, 86.92 %, 94.63 %, 95.49 %, 72.04 % and 82.79 %, respectively. On the 0 day after the release of lindane stress, the accumulated lindane inhibited the normal physiological activities of rice by affecting lipid metabolism in subsp. Indica BH, amino acid metabolism and synthesis and nucleotide metabolism in hybrid CY. Carbohydrate metabolism of subsp. Japonica YJ also was inhibited, but with low accumulation of lindane, YJ regulated amino acid metabolism to resist stress. With the degradation of lindane in rice, the amino acid metabolism of BH and CY, which had high degradation ratios on day 9, was activated to compound biomolecules required for the organism to recover from the damage. Amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism were disturbed and inhibited mainly in YJ with low degradation ratios. This study provides the difference of the metabolic capacity of the metabolic capacity of different rice varieties to lindane, and changes at the molecular level and metabolic response mechanism of rice during the metabolism of lindane.

Abstract
Deteriorated soil pollution has grown into a worldwide environmental concern over the years. Organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues, featured with ubiquity, persistence and refractoriness, are one of the main pollution sources, causing soil degradation, fertility decline and nutritional imbalance, and severely impacting soil ecology. Furthermore, residual OCPs in soil may enter the human body along with food chain accumulation and pose a serious health threat. To date, many remediation technologies including physicochemical and biological ways for organochlorine pollution have been developed at home and abroad, but none of them is a panacea suitable for all occasions. Rational selection and scientific decision-making are grounded in in-depth knowledge of various restoration techniques. However, soil pollution treatment often encounters the interference of multiple factors (climate, soil properties, cost, restoration efficiency, etc.) in complex environments, and there is still a lack of systematic summary and comparative analysis of different soil OCP removal methods. Thus, to better guide the remediation of contaminated soil, this review summarized the most commonly used strategies for OCP removal, evaluated their merits and limitations and discussed the application scenarios of different methods. It will facilitate the development of efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly soil remediation strategies for sustainable agricultural and ecological development.

Abstract
Cyantraniliprole uptake, translocation, and distribution in wheat plants grown in hydroponics and soil conditions were investigated. The hydroponics experiment indicated that cyantraniliprole was prone to be absorbed by wheat roots mainly through the apoplastic pathway and predominately distributed in the cell-soluble fraction (81.4-83.6%) and ultimately transferred upward to leaves (TFleave/stem = 4.84 > TFstem/root = 0.67). In wheat-soil systems, the uptake of cyantraniliprole was similar to that in hydroponics. The accumulation of cyantraniliprole in wheat tissues was mainly affected by the content of soil organic matter and clay, resulting in the increased adsorption of cyantraniliprole onto soils (R2 > 0.991, P < 0.01), and was positively related to the concentration of cyantraniliprole in soil pore water (R2 > 0.991, P < 0.001). Besides, the absorption of cyantraniliprole by wheat was predicted well by the partition-limited model. These results increased our understanding of the absorption and accumulation of cyantraniliprole in wheat and were also helpful for guiding the practical application and risk evaluation of cyantraniliprole.

Abstract
To understand the role of plants for natural attenuation, a field study was conducted to characterize the fate of HCH in trees over an annual growth period using compound-specific isotope analysis and enantiomer fractionation. Stable and slightly higher δ13C and δ37Cl values of HCH of host soil samples compared to the muck (consisting nearly exclusively of HCH) revealed that masking isotope effects caused by the limited bioavailability may underestimate the real extent of HCH transformation in soil. In contrast, an increase of δ13C and δ37Cl values in trees indicated the transformation of HCH. A large variability of δ13C and δ37Cl values in trees over the growth period was observed, representing different transformation extents among different growth times, which is further supported by the shift of the enantiomer fraction (EF), indicating the preferential transformation of enantiomers also varied over the different growth periods. Based on dual-element isotope analysis, different predominant transformation mechanisms were observed during the growing seasons. Our observation implies that plants are acting as biological pumps driving a cycle of uptake and metabolization of HCH and refeed during littering to soil catalyzing their transformation. The changes of the transformation mechanism in different seasons have implications for phytoscreening and shed new light on phytoremediation of HCH at field sites.

Abstract
Since the fifties, organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) had been used in agriculture to protect vegetables. Two decades after their ban by the Stockholm convention in 2001, OCPs are still present in agricultural soils inducing vegetable contamination with concentrations above Maximum Residue Level (MRL). This is a major concern for a 5 km2 peri-urban vegetable growing valley located in the south west of France. In the present work, the sampling method was developed to clarify the spatial distribution of one OCP, Dieldrin, and its relationship with soil properties at the scale of study area. A total of 99 soil samples was collected for physicochemical analyses and Dieldrin concentrations. Results show Dieldrin concentrations in soils up to 204 μg kg-1. The horizontal distribution of this pesticide is heterogeneous at the study area scale but homogeneous in each reference plot studied. About 85% of the contamination was located in the top soil layers (0-40 cm depth), but Dieldrin may still be quantified at a depth of 80 cm. Among all soil physicochemical parameters analysed, SOM was the most significantly related (P < 10-4) with Dieldrin concentrations, once different grain size fractions were considered. Moreover, results indicate a 33 times higher Dieldrin concentration and/or extractability for coarse sand than for other grain size fractions. These results show that the developed sampling method is adapted for the study area scale as it helps understanding the factors influencing the spatial distribution of Dieldrin. Historical amendments are the predominant factor for the horizontal contamination and deep ploughing for the vertical contamination. Also, the variations of coarse sand repartition in soils prevents identification of relationships between SOM and Dieldrin contamination in bulk soil. Further investigation is required to explain these relationships but these results highlight why no clear relationship between OCPs and SOM was previously identified.

Abstract
β-Hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) is a remnant from former HCH pesticide production. Its removal from the environment gained attention in the last few years since it is the most stable HCH isomer. However, knowledge about the transformation of β-HCH in soil-plant systems is still limited. Therefore, experiments with a contaminated field soil were conducted to investigate the transformation of β-HCH in soil-plant systems by compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA). The results showed that the δ13C and δ37Cl values of β-HCH in the soil of the planted control remained stable, revealing no transformation due to a low bioavailability. Remarkably, an increase of the δ13C and δ37Cl values in soil and plant tissues of the spiked treatments were observed, indicating the transformation of β-HCH in both the soil and the plant. This was surprising as previously it was shown that wheat is unable to transform β-HCH when growing in hydroponic culture or garden soil. Thus, results of this work indicate for the first time that a microbial community of the soil inoculated the wheat and then facilitated the transformation of β-HCH in the wheat, which may have implications for the development of phytoremediation concepts. A high abundance of HCH degraders belonging to Sphingomonas sp., Mycobacterium sp., and others was detected in the β-HCH-treated bulk and rhizosphere soil, potentially supporting the biotransformation.

Abstract
Hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs) are persistent organic pollutants being responsible for environmental contamination worldwide. In order to characterize transformation of HCHs in different plant compartments during uptake, a hydroponic experimental setup was designed using wheat as the test plant. The extent of transformation was determined by using compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) and enantiomer fraction (EF) analysis. In nutrient solutions, no change of carbon (δ13C) and chlorine isotope ratios (δ37Cl) of α-HCH and β-HCH was detected throughout the experiment indicating no transformation there. In wheat leaves, stems and roots, however, transformation of α-HCH due to a C‒Cl bond cleavage was indicated by increasing δ13C and δ37Cl compared to the nutrient solution. In addition, 1,3,4,5,6-pentachlorocyclohexene (PCCH) was identified as the major metabolite of α-HCH transformation. For β-HCH, in contrast, no transformation was detected. The evaluation of enantiomer fraction analysis revealed no change of the EF(-) in the nutrient solution or on root surface but a decrease in the wheat compartments, providing an evidence for the preferential biological transformation of (-)α-HCH in wheat. The current study provides the first experimental evidence for biotransformation of α-HCH in wheat using CSIA and EF and provides a concept to evaluate processes during phytoremediation.

Abstract
The uptake by plants from soil is one of the first steps for hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers to enter the food web. However, the HCH transformation associated with the uptake process is still not well understood. Therefore, a soil-wheat pot experiment was conducted to characterize the HCH transformation during wheat growth using compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) and enantiomer fractionation. The results showed that the δ13C and δ37Cl values of β-HCH remained stable in soil and wheat, revealing no transformation. In contrast, an increase of δ13C and δ37Cl values of α-HCH indicated its transformation in soil and wheat. A shift of the enantiomer fraction (EF) (-) from 0.50 to 0.35 in soil at the jointing stage and 0.35 to 0.57 at the harvest stage suggested that the preferential transformation of enantiomers varied at different growth stages. Based on the dual element isotope analysis, the transformation mechanism in the soil-wheat system was different from that in wheat in hydroponic systems. The high abundance of HCH degraders, Sphingomonas sp. and Novosphingobium sp., was detected in the α-HCH-treated rhizosphere soil, supporting the potential for biotransformation. The application of CSIA and EF allows characterizing the transformation of organic pollutants such as HCHs in the complex soil-plant systems.

Abstract
Root uptake, translocation, and subcellular distribution of six pesticides (dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, imazethapyr, propiconazole, and chlorpyrifos) with Kow ranging from -0.549 to 4.7 were investigated in wheat to study transportation and accumulation of pesticides. The root bioconcentration factor (RCF) of pesticides decreased with water solubility (R2 = 0.6121) and increased with hydrophobicity (when the pH-adjusted log Kow > 2, R2 = 0.925), respectively. The translocation of neutral pesticides from roots to shoots increased positively with water solubility (R2 > 0.6484) but decreased with hydrophobicity (R2 > 0.8039). The subcellular fraction concentration factor (SFCF) increased linearly with hydrophobicity of the tested pesticides (R2 > 0.958). The log RCF was positively correlated with log SFCF in root cell walls (R2 = 0.9894) and organelles (R2 = 0.9786). Transportation of the pesticides from roots to stems and stems to leaves was adversely affected by the log SFCF of cell walls and organelles of roots (R2 > 0.7997) and stems (R2 > 0.6666), respectively. Hydrophobicity-dependent SFCF is a factor governing accumulation of pesticides in roots after uptake and their subsequent upward translocation.

Abstract
Cucurbitaceae family members are accumulators of hydrophobic pollutants. Such pollutants have been detected in cucurbits at levels above the maximum residue limit. Since major latex-like proteins (MLPs) are involved in hydrophobic pollutant uptake, changes in MLP expression can increase or decrease contamination. MLP expression levels were altered in the roots of Cucurbita pepo 'Magda,' and MLP-PG1 was detected in the xylem sap of Magda when cultivated at a high temperature (35°C). Day length also influenced MLP expression levels but only induced minor changes in the amount of MLPs. The concentration of pyrene, a hydrophobic pollutant, significantly increased with increasing MLP levels in the xylem sap of Magda when cultivated at 35°C. Thus, high temperatures promote the pollution of cucurbits by hydrophobic pollutants. These results can be used to develop novel techniques to reduce crop contamination and establish efficient phytoremediation.

Abstract
The influence of clopyralid in soil on plant growth was investigated over time using three plants. The order of clopyralid sensitivity was as follows: Solanum lycopersicum>Solanum melongena>Momordica charantia, especially physiological disorder of S. lycopersicum were rapidly expressed as various serious symptoms with increasing concentration of clopyralid. In contrast, the clopyralid concentration of above-ground part was in the following order: M. charantia>S. lycopersicum, S. melongena, which differed from the order of sensitivity to clopyralid.

Abstract
There has been an on-going pursuit for relations between the levels of chemicals in plants/crops and the source levels in soil or water in order to address impacts of toxic substances on human health and ecological quality. In this research, we applied the quasi-equilibrium partition model to analyze the relations for nonionic organic contaminants between plant/crop roots and external soil/water media. The model relates the in-situ root concentration factors of chemicals from external water into plant/crop roots (RCF(water)) with the system physicochemical parameters and the chemical quasi-equilibrium states with plant/crop roots (αpt, ≤1). With known RCF(water) values, root lipid contents (flip), and octanol-water Kow's, the chemical-plant αpt values and their ranges of variation at given flipKow could be calculated. Because of the inherent relation between αpt and flipKow, a highly distinct correlation emerges between log RCF(water) and log flipKow (R2 = 0.825; n = 368), with the supporting data drawn from 19 disparate soil-plant studies covering some 6 orders of magnitude in flipKow and 4 orders of magnitude in RCF(water). This correlation performs far better than any relationship previously developed for predicting the contamination levels of pesticides and toxic organic chemicals in plant/crop roots for assessing risks on food safety.

Abstract
The relationships between plant growth stage and pesticide-uptake ability were investigated via cultivation of Brassica rapa L. var. perviridis in soil to which was added four pesticides of relatively high log K OW: fenobucarb, procymidone, flutolanil, and tolclofos-methyl. The root concentrations of pesticides were low in very young seedlings with undeveloped root systems, highest in seedlings with developed root systems, and tended to decrease until the usual harvesting stage. Additionally, the shoot concentrations of tested pesticides showed the same trends as the roots. The pesticide-uptake abilities of roots were lowest in very young seedlings and then constant for seedlings until the harvesting stage. In contrast, the pesticide-translocation abilities from root to shoot were constant regardless of growth stage. The results indicated that changes in shoot concentrations with growth stage were affected by the development of the root system and pesticide-uptake ability of roots.

Abstract
We cultivated Brassica rapa var. perviridis in soil mixed with four pesticides (fenobucarb, procymidone, flutolanil, and tolclofos-methyl) at different temperatures, day lengths, and soil water contents. We compared plants' uptake and translocation abilities of the pesticides as affected by growth conditions. The root concentration factor (RCF) of pesticides tended to increase with rising temperature; however, but the influence of temperature on the transpiration stream concentration factor (TSCF) differed for each pesticide. The RCFs and TSCFs of pesticides were high for short days. The soil water content had little or no effect on the uptake and translocation of pesticides. These results showed that it is necessary to consider growth conditions, especially the temperature and day length in plant uptake models for these pesticides.

Abstract
We performed uptake experiments with 12 different organic chemicals using 16 plant species and determined differences in the ability of plant species to take up and translocate these chemicals. There were differences among the plant species in the shoot and root concentrations of each organic chemical. The root concentration factor values increased with an increasing log of the n-octanol-water partition coefficient (log K OW) of organic chemicals. Thus, the concentrations in roots may be predicted to a certain extent because the root concentration factor values were related to the log K OW. The root-to-shoot translocation was related to the log K OW because the shoot-to-root concentration ratio decreased with an increasing log K OW; however, there was no clear relationship between the shoot concentration factor value and the log K OW, and this differed among plant species.

Abstract
Toxicity of mine dump effluent containing five hexachlorocyclohexane (α, β, γ, δ and ε-HCH, sum 159.4 μg/L) and two trichlorobenzene (TCB, sum 65.2 μg/L) isomers to two microalgae (Scenedesmus quadricauda and Coccomyxa subellipsoidea) was studied over 24 h exposure and also with 2- and 10-fold diluted stock solution (i.e. 1×, 0.5× and 0.1× strength). Individual isomers revealed rather dose-dependent accumulation typically higher in Scenedesmus than in Coccomyxa (max. sum of HCH 14.99 μg/g DW with bioaccumulation factor 94) and δ-HCH was dominant isomer. TCB isomers showed low accumulation in algae. 0.1× dose elevated chlorophylls and carotenoids in Coccomyxa while enzymatic activities (SOD, CAT, and APX), thiols (glutathione and phytochelatin 2) and ascorbic acid were rather elevated by 1× dose in both species. Malic acid, rather than citric acid, increased in response to 0.5× and 1× concentration. Sum of fatty acids was higher in Coccomyxa than in Scenedesmus with palmitic, oleic, linoleic and α-linolenic acids being dominant compounds in both species. Detailed profiling revealed that saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids increased in Coccomyxa while polyunsaturated fatty acids in Scenedesmus in response to increasing dose of organochlorines. Accumulation of organochlorines and metabolic responses in algae are reported here for the first time.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2017; 223:357-366.

Abstract
Due to the persistent pollution of soils by an organochlorine, chlordecone (CLD also known as Kepone ©) in the French West Indies, some crops may be contaminated beyond the European regulatory threshold, the maximum residue limit (MRL). Farmers need to be able to foresee the risk of not complying with the regulatory threshold in each field and for each crop, if not, farmers whose fields are contaminated would have to stop cultivating certain crops in the fields concerned. To help farmers make the right choices, we studied the relationship between contamination of the soil and contamination of crops. We showed that contamination of a crop by CLD depended on the crop concerned, the soil CLD content and the type of soil. We grouped crop products in three categories: (i) non-uptakers and low-uptakers, (ii) medium-uptakers, and (iii) high-uptakers, according to their level of contamination and the resulting risk of exceeding MRL. Using a simulation model, we computed the soil threshold required to ensure the risk of not complying with MRL was sufficiently low for each crop product and soil type. Threshold values ranged from 0.02 μgkg-1 for dasheen grown in nitisol to 1.7 μgkg-1 for yam grown in andosol in the high-uptake category, and from 1 μgkg-1 for lettuce grown in nitisol to 45 μgkg-1 for the leaves of spring onions grown in andosol in the medium-uptake category. Contamination of non-uptakers and low-uptakers did not depend on soil contamination. With these results, we built an easy-to-use decision support tool based on two soil thresholds (0.1 and 1 μgkg-1) to enable growers to adapt their cropping system and hence to be able to continue farming.
