Abstract
The present study of phytomitigation potential and adaptive physiological and biochemical responses of helophyte Typha latifolia L. growing in water bodies at different distances from the century-old copper smelter (JSC "Karabashmed" Chelyabinsk Region, Russia) was conducted for the first time. This enterprise is one of the most dominant sources of multi-metal contamination for water and land ecosystems. The aim of the research was to assess the heavy metal (Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cd, Mn, and Fe) accumulation, the photosynthetic pigment complex, and some redox reactions in T. latifolia from six differently technogenic impacted sites. In addition, the quantity of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (QMAFAnM) in rhizosphere sediments, as well as some plant growth-promoting (PGP) attributes of 50 isolates from each site, were determined. The water and sediment metal concentrations in highly contaminated sites exceeded the permissible/critical limits and were found much higher than that previously reported by other researchers while studying this helophyte. Both the degree of contamination and geoaccumulation indexes further elucidated extremely high contamination due to prolonged activity of copper smelter. T. latifolia accumulated significantly higher concentrations of the most of studied metals in its roost and rhizome with meager transfer to leaves (the translocation factors were less than one). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed a strong positive correlation between the metal concentration in sediments and its content in T. latifolia leaves (rs = 0.786 at p < 0.001 on average) and roots/rhizome (rs = 0.847 at p < 0.001 on average). In highly contaminated sites, the folia content of chlorophyll a and carotenoids decreased (by 30 and 38%, respectively), while lipid peroxidation enhanced (by 42%) on average compared to S1-S3 sites. These responses were accompanied by increasing non-enzymatic antioxidant content (soluble phenolic compounds, free proline, and soluble thiols) that allow plants to resist under significant anthropogenic loads. QMAFAnM in the five studied rhizosphere substrates varied insignificantly (2.5 × 106 - 3.8 × 107 cfu g-1 DW) and was decreased only in the most contaminated site (4.5 × 105). The proportion of rhizobacteria capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen decreased by 1.7 times, solubilizing phosphates by 1.5 times, and synthesizing indol-3-acetic acid by 1.4 times in highly contaminated sites, while the amount of siderophore, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase, and HCN producing bacteria did not considerably change. The results indicate high resistance of T. latifolia to prolonged technogenic impact, probably due to compensatory adaptive changes in the nonenzymatic antioxidant level and presence of beneficial microorganisms. Thus, T. latifolia was found to be a promising metal-tolerant helophyte that could help in mitigation of metal toxicity due to their phytostabilization even in heavily contaminated environment.

Abstract
Under the present investigation, the submerged plant Potamogeton pusillus has been tested for the removal of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). P. pusillus removal efficiency and accumulation capacity were examined in separated Pb and Cd solutions, at 0.5, 1.0, and 2 mg L-1, and in solutions where both metals were present at the same concentration (0.5, 1.0, and 2 mg L-1), under laboratory conditions for 3, 7, and 10 days. Also, we examined the removal efficiency and accumulation capacity when a set of plants were exposed to 0.5 mg L-1 of Pb (or Cd) and increasing concentrations (0.5, 1, and 2 mg L-1) of Cd (or Pb) for 10 days. The effect of Cd and Pb was assessed by measuring changes in the chlorophylls, carotenoids, and malondialdehyde contents. Results showed that P. pusillus could accumulate Cd and Pb from individual solutions. Roots and leaves accumulated the highest amount of Cd and Pb followed by the stems. Some phytotoxic effects were observed, especially at individual Cd exposures, but these effects were not observed in the two-metal system. The removal and accumulation of Pb by P. pusillus were significantly enhanced in the presence of Cd under certain conditions, presenting a good alternative for the removal of these metals from polluted aquifers. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first report on both enhanced phytoextraction of Pb in the presence of Cd and bioaccumulation of these heavy metals by P. pusillus.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is a severe concern worldwide, owing to its harmful effects on ecosystems. Phytoremediation has been applied to remove heavy metals from water, soils, and sediments by using plants and associated microorganisms to restore contaminated sites. The Typha genus is one of the most important genera used in phytoremediation strategies because of its rapid growth rate, high biomass production, and the accumulation of heavy metals in its roots. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have attracted much attention because they exert biochemical activities that improve plant growth, tolerance, and the accumulation of heavy metals in plant tissues. Because of their beneficial effects on plants, some studies have identified bacterial communities associated with the roots of Typha species growing in the presence of heavy metals. This review describes in detail the phytoremediation process and highlights the application of Typha species. Then, it describes bacterial communities associated with roots of Typha growing in natural ecosystems and wetlands contaminated with heavy metals. Data indicated that bacteria from the phylum Proteobacteria are the primary colonizers of the rhizosphere and root-endosphere of Typha species growing in contaminated and non-contaminated environments. Proteobacteria include bacteria that can grow in different environments due to their ability to use various carbon sources. Some bacterial species exert biochemical activities that contribute to plant growth and tolerance to heavy metals and enhance phytoremediation.

Abstract
Plant-associated bacteria in heavy-metal-contaminated environments could be a biotechnological tool to improve plant growth. The present work aimed to isolate lead- and cadmium-tolerant endophytic bacteria from the roots of Typha latifolia growing in a site contaminated with these heavy metals. Endophytic bacteria were characterized according to Pb and Cd tolerance, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria activities, and their effect on T. latifolia seedlings exposed and non-exposed to Pb and Cd. Pb-tolerant isolates were identified as Pseudomonas azotoformans JEP3, P. fluorescens JEP8, and P. gessardii JEP33, while Cd-tolerant bacteria were identified as P. veronii JEC8, JEC9, and JEC11. They all exert biochemical activities, including indole acetic acid synthesis, siderophore production, and phosphate solubilization. Plant-bacteria interaction assays showed that P. azotoformans JEP3, P. fluorescens JEP8, P. gessardii JEP33, and P. veronii JEC8, JEC9, JEC11 promote the growth of T. latifolia seedlings by increasing the root and shoot length, while in plants exposed to either 5 mg/L of Pb or 10 mg/L of Cd, all bacterial isolates increased the shoot length and the number of roots per plant, suggesting that they are plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria that could contribute to T. latifolia adaptation to the heavy metal polluted site.

Abstract
The Typha genus comprises plant species extensively studied for phytoremediation processes. Recently, Pseudomonas rhodesiae GRC140, an IAA-producing bacterium, was isolated from Typha latifolia roots. This bacterium stimulates the emergence of lateral roots of Arabidopsis thaliana in the presence and absence of cadmium. However, the bacterial influence on cadmium accumulation by the plant has not been determined. Moreover, the P. rhodesiae GRC140 effect in Cd phytoextraction by T. latifolia remains poorly understood. In this work, an axenic hydroponic culture of T. latifolia was established. The plants were used to evaluate the effects of cadmium stress in axenic plants and determine the effects of P. rhodesiae GRC140 and exogenous indole acetic acid (IAA) on Cd tolerance and Cd uptake by T. latifolia. Biomass production, total chlorophyll content, root electrolyte leakage, catalase activity, total glutathione, and Cd content were determined. The results showed that Cd reduces shoot biomass and increases total glutathione and Cd content in a dose-dependent manner in root tissues. Furthermore, P. rhodesiae GRC140 increased Cd translocation to the shoots, while IAA increased the Cd accumulation in plant roots, indicating that both treatments increase Cd removal by T. latifolia plants. These results indicate that axenic plants in hydroponic systems are adequate to evaluate the Cd effects in plants and suggest that T. latifolia phytoextraction abilities could be improved by P. rhodesiae GRC140 and exogenous IAA application.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 284:117105. [PMID: 33901981 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Macrophytes play an important role in aquatic ecosystems, and thus are often used in ecological risk assessments of potentially deleterious anthropogenic substances. Risk assessments for macrophyte populations or communities are commonly based on inferences drawn from standardized toxicity tests conducted on floating non-rooted Lemna species, or submerged-rooted Myriophyllum species. These tests follow strict guidelines to produce reliable and robust results with legal credibility for environmental regulations. However, results and inferences from these tests may not be transferrable to emergent macrophytes due to their different morphology and physiology. Emergent macrophytes of the genus Typha L. are increasingly used for assessing phytotoxic effects of environmental stressors, although standardized testing protocols have not yet been developed for this genus. In this review we present a synthesis of previous toxicity studies with Typha, based on which we evaluate the potential to develop standard toxicity tests for Typha spp. with seven selection criteria: ecological relevance to the ecosystem; suitability for different exposure pathways; availability of plant material; ease of cultivation; uniform growth; appropriate and easily measurable toxicity endpoints; and sensitivity toward contaminants. Typha meets criteria 1-3 fully, criteria 4 and 5 partly based on current limited data, and we identify knowledge gaps that limit evaluation of the remaining two criteria. We provide suggestions for addressing these gaps, and we summarize the experimental design of ecotoxicology studies that have used Typha. We conclude that Typha spp. can serve as future standard test species for ecological risk assessments of contaminants to emergent macrophytes.

Abstract
In this work, we isolated four Cd-tolerant endophytic bacteria from Typha latifolia roots that grow at a Cd-contaminated site. Bacterial isolates GRC065, GRC066, GRC093, and GRC140 were identified as Pseudomonas rhodesiae. These bacterial isolates tolerate cadmium and have abilities for phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, indole acetic acid (IAA) synthesis, and ACC deaminase activity, suggesting that they are plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Bacterial inoculation in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings showed that P. rhodesiae strains increase total fresh weight and number of lateral roots concerning non-inoculated plants. These results indicated that P. rhodesiae strains promote A. thaliana seedlings growth by modifying the root system. On the other hand, in A. thaliana seedlings exposed to 2.5 mg/l of Cd, P. rhodesiae strains increased the number and density of lateral roots concerning non-inoculated plants, indicating that they modify the root architecture of A. thaliana seedlings exposed to cadmium. The results showed that P. rhodesiae strains promote the development of lateral roots in A. thaliana seedlings cultivated in both conditions, with and without cadmium. These results suggest that P. rhodesiae strains could exert a similar role inside the roots of T. latifolia that grow in the Cd-contaminated environment.

Abstract
The bioaccumulation capacity of water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) including heavy metals has been well documented. However, its bioaccumulative efficiency for Pb, Cd, and Pb + Cd mixtures in nutrient-poor media is neglected. Therefore, the present study was aimed to investigate the bioaccumulative efficiency of the water lettuce by evaluating the bioconcentration factors (BCFs) and goodness-of-fit to regression models. Plants were exposed to various concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Pb + Cd mixtures in tap water for 1, 4, and 7 days. Heavy metal accumulation in whole plant tissue was measured with ICP-MS. The highest bioaccumulation rate was recorded at 1 day exposure tests for both metals as 14.9 mg/kg for Pb and 2.21 mg/kg for Cd. The BCFs for Pb and Cd ranged between 0.13 and 2.39 and 0.08 to 1.24, respectively. The modeling of the BCFs and exposure duration indicate that all of the models developed were significant. The R2 values were higher for single metal exposure tests. The model fitted curves demonstrate the decrease in BCFs with increasing exposure duration in all groups. Our results indicate that water lettuce can be used to treat nutrient-poor media polluted with low levels of Pb, Cd, and Pb + Cd mixtures for short incubation periods.

BULLETIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY 2013; 90:650-653.

Abstract
The removal from the solution and the accumulation of As, Cd and Cr by Typha latifolia was studied. Small plants of T. latifolia, collected from a non-contaminated site, were exposed to individual concentrations of As, Cd and Cr for 10 days. The ability of T. latifolia for the removal of toxic elements ranged from 23% to 54% for As, 43%-55% for Cd and 28%-73% for Cr. The accumulation of toxic elements in T. latifolia occurred mainly in the roots. The results suggest that T. latifolia can be considered as an interesting alternative for treating aquatic effluents polluted with toxic trace elements.

The fate of arsenic, cadmium and lead in Typha latifolia: a case study on the applicability of micro-PIXE in plant ionomics. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2013; 248-249:371-378.

Abstract
Understanding the uptake, accumulation and distribution of toxic elements in plants is crucial to the design of effective phytoremediation strategies, especially in the case of complex multi-element pollution. Using micro-proton induced X-ray emission, the spatial distribution of Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Cd and Pb have been quantitatively resolved in roots and rhizomes of an obligate wetland plant species, Typha latifolia, treated with a mixture of 100 μM each of As, Cd and Pb, together. The highest concentrations of As, Cd and Pb were found in the roots of the T. latifolia, with tissue-specific distributions. The As was detected in the root rhizodermis, and in the rhizome the majority of the As was within the vascular tissues, which indicates the high mobility of As within T. latifolia. The Cd was detected in the root exodermis, and in the vascular bundle and epidermis of the rhizome. The highest Pb concentrations were detected in the root rhizodermis and exodermis, and in the epidermis of the rhizome. These data represent an essential step in the resolution of fundamental questions in plant ionomics.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2011; 159:182-189.

Abstract
Using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), relationships were investigated between plant species composition and flooding characteristics, heavy metal contamination and soil properties in a lowland floodplain of the Rhine River. Floodplain elevation and yearly average flooding duration turned out to be more important for explaining variation in plant species composition than soil heavy metal contamination. Nevertheless, plant species richness and diversity showed a significant decrease with the level of contamination. As single heavy metal concentrations seemed mostly too low for causing phytotoxic effects in plants, this trend is possibly explained by additive effects of multiple contaminants or by the concomitant influences of contamination and non-chemical stressors like flooding. These results suggest that impacts of soil contamination on plants in floodplains could be larger than expected from mere soil concentrations. In general, these findings emphasize the relevance of analyzing effects of toxic substances in concert with the effects of other relevant stressors.
