Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid, elevated levels of which in soils are becoming a major global environmental issue that poses potential health risks to humans. Pteris vittata, the first known As hyperaccumulator, has been successfully used to remediate As-polluted soils. Understanding why and how P. vittata hyperaccumulates As is the core theoretical basis of As phytoremediation technology. In this review, we highlight the beneficial effects of As in P. vittata, including growth promotion, elemental defense, and other potential benefits. The stimulated growth of P. vittata induced by As can be defined as As hormesis, but differs from that in non-hyperaccumulators in some aspects. Furthermore, the As coping mechanisms of P. vittata, including As uptake, reduction, efflux, translocation, and sequestration/detoxification are discussed. We hypothesize that P. vittata has evolved strong As uptake and translocation capacities to obtain beneficial effects from As, which gradually leads to As accumulation. During this process, P. vittata has developed a strong As vacuolar sequestration ability to detoxify overloaded As, which enables it to accumulate extremely high As concentrations in its fronds. This review also provides insights into several important research gaps that need to be addressed to advance our understanding of As hyperaccumulation in P. vittata from the perspective of the benefits of As.

Mineralogical characteristics of root iron plaque and its functional mechanism for regulating Cr phytoextraction of hyperaccumulator Leersia hexandra Swartz. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 228:115846. [PMID: 37024027 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Leersia hexandra Swartz (L. hexandra) is a promising hyperaccumulator for Cr pollution remediation, but whether its Cr phytoextraction is subject to the root surface-attached iron plaque (IP) remains unclear. In this research, the natural and artificial IPs were proven to be comprised of small amounts of exchangeable Fe as well as carbonate Fe, and dominantly Fe minerals involving amorphous two-line ferrihydrite (Fh), poorly crystalline lepidocrocite (Le) and highly crystalline goethite (Go). The Fe content in the artificial IPs augmented with increasing induced Fe(II) concentration, and the 50 mg/L Fe(II) led to the identical Fe content and different component proportions of artificial IP (Fe50) and natural IP. Fh was consisted of highly aggregated nanoparticles, and the aging of Fh caused its phase conversion to rod-like Le and Go. The Cr(VI) adsorption results of Fe minerals corroborated the coordination of Cr(VI) onto the Fh surface and the significantly greater equilibrium Cr(VI) adsorption amount of Fh over Le and Go. The greatest Cr(VI) reduction capacity of Fh among three Fe minerals was found to be related to its most abundant surface-adsorbed Fe(II) content. The results of hydroponic experiment of L. hexandra showed that the presence of IP facilitated the Cr(VI) removal by L. hexandra during the cultivation period of 10-45 days, and consequently, compared to the Fe0 group (without IP), around 60% of increase in the Cr accumulation of shoots was achieved by Fe50 group. The findings of this work are conductive to furthering our understanding of IP-regulated Cr phytoextraction of L. hexandra.

Abstract
Heavy metal (HM) pollution has become a serious global problem due to the non-biodegradable nature of the HMs and their persistence in the environment. Agricultural soil is a non-renewable resource that requires careful management so that it can fulfill the increasing demand for agricultural food production. However, different anthropogenic activities have resulted in a large-scale accumulation of HMs in soil which is detrimental to soil and plant health. Due to their ubiquity, increased bioavailability, toxicity, and non-biodegradable nature, HM contamination has formed a roadblock in the way of achieving food security, safety, and sustainability in the future. Chromium (Cr), specifically Cr(VI) is a highly bioavailable HM with no proven role in the physiology of plants. Chromium has been found to be highly toxic to plants, with its toxicity also influenced by chemical speciation, which is in turn controlled by different factors, such as soil pH, redox potential, organic matter, and microbial population. In this review, the different factors that influence Cr speciation were analyzed and the relationship between biogeochemical transformations of Cr and its bioavailability which may be beneficial for devising different Cr remediation strategies has been discussed. Also, the uptake and transport mechanism of Cr in plants, with particular reference to sulfate and phosphate transporters has been presented. The biological solutions for the remediation of Cr contaminated sites which offer safe and viable alternatives to old-style physical and chemical remediation strategies have been discussed in detail. This review provides theoretical guidance in developing suitable approaches for the better management of these remediation strategies.

Abstract
An increase in technological interventions and ruthless urbanization in the name of development has deteriorated our environment over time and caused the buildup of heavy metals (HMs) in the soil and water resources. These heavy metals are gaining increased access into our food chain through the plant and/or animal-based products, to adversely impact human health. The issue of how to restrict the entry of HMs or modulate their response in event of their ingress into the plant system is worrisome. The current knowledge on the interactive-regulatory role and contribution of different physical, biophysical, biochemical, physiological, and molecular factors that determine the heavy metal availability-uptake-partitioning dynamics in the soil-plant-environment needs to be updated. The present review critically analyses the interactive overlaps between different adaptation and tolerance strategies that may be causally related to their cellular localization, conjugation and homeostasis, a relative affinity for the transporters, rhizosphere modifications, activation of efflux pumps and vacuolar sequestration that singly or collectively determine a plant's response to HM stress. Recently postulated role of gaseous pollutants such as SO2 and other secondary metabolites in heavy metal tolerance, which may be regulated at the whole plant and/or tissue/cell is discussed to delineate and work towards a "not so heavy" response of plants to heavy metals present in the contaminated soils.

Enhanced biostimulation coupled with a dynamic groundwater recirculation system for Cr(VI) removal from groundwater: A field-scale study. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 772:145495. [PMID: 33770851 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.145495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2020] [Revised: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
A large gap exists between laboratory findings and successful implementation of bioremediation technologies for the treatment of chromium (Cr)-contaminated sites. This work conducted the enhanced bioremediation of Cr(VI) in situ via the addition of organic carbon (ethanol) coupled with a dynamic groundwater recirculation (DGR)-based system in a field-scale study. The DGR system was applied to successfully (1) remove Cr(VI) from groundwater via enhanced flushing by the recirculation system and (2) deliver the biostimulant to the heterogeneous subsurface environment, including a sand/cobble aquifer and a fractured bedrock aquifer. The results showed that the combined extraction and bioreduction of Cr(VI) were able to reduce Cr(VI) concentrations from 1000 to 2000 mg/L to below the clean-up goal of 0.1 mg/L within the operation period of 52 days. The effectiveness of Cr(VI) bioremediation and the relationship between microbial communities and geochemical parameters were evaluated. Multiple-line of evidence demonstrated that the introduction of ethanol significantly stimulated a variety of bacteria, including those responsible for denitrification, sulfate reduction and reduction of Cr(VI), which contributed to the establishment of reducing conditions in both aquifers. Cr(VI) was removed from groundwater via combined mechanisms of physical removal through the DGR system and the bioreduction of Cr(VI) followed by precipitation. In particular, it was found competitive growth among Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria (such as the enrichment of Geobacter, along with the reduced relative abundance of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas) was induced by ethanol injection. Furthermore, Cr(VI), total organic carbon, NO2-, and SO42- played important roles in shaping the composition of the microbial community and its functions.

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is a trace element critical to human health and well-being. In the last few decades, its contamination, especially hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] form in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, has amplified as a result of various anthropogenic activities. Chromium pollution is a significant environmental threat, severely impacting our environment and natural resources, especially water and soil. Excessive exposure could lead to higher levels of accumulation in human and animal tissues, leading to toxic and detrimental health effects. Several studies have shown that chromium is a toxic element that negatively affects plant metabolic activities, hampering crop growth and yield and reducing vegetable and grain quality. Thus, it must be monitored in water, soil, and crop production system. Various useful and practical remediation technologies have been emerging in regulating chromium in water, soil, and other resources. A sustainable remediation approach must be adopted to balance the environment and nature.

Abstract
Plants with the crassulacean acid metabolism commonly present good adaptation to arid and semi-arid environments, but it highly depends on the type of species. In this study, chlorophyll fluorescence, the concentration of inorganic and organic solutes and the productive performance were evaluated along with their relationships in different clones of the genera Opuntia and Nopalea. The experiment was conducted from 2016 to 2018. Four clones of genus Opuntia were evaluated: 'Orelha de Elefante Mexicana' (OEM), 'Orelha de Elefante Africana' (OEA), V19 and F8; and two clones of genus Nopalea: 'IPA Sertânia' and 'Miúda'. The experiment was arranged in a randomised block design, with six treatments and three replications. The following parameters were measured when harvesting: initial, maximum and variable fluorescence; the quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm); light-induction curves of the photochemical parameters (ΔF/Fm', qP, NPQ and ETR); the chlorophyll and carotenoid content; carbohydrates; the sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) content; morphometry; and dry matter accumulation. The values for the effective quantum yield of PSII (ΔF/Fm') and the alterations in photochemical quenching were higher in the OEM clone (P < 0.05). There was a difference between clones for non-photochemical quenching, with the F8 clone having the highest values. The Fv/Fm was 0.87 for the OEM. 'IPA Sertânia' obtained the greatest Chl a/b, and the highest values for carbohydrate concentration were found in the OEA clone. The OEM clone showed the greatest accumulation of K+, in addition to a higher cladode area index and greater dry matter accumulation. The results of this study show the high physiological tolerance of the forage cactus to a semi-arid environment, which varies according to the clone.

Abstract
Increasing concentration of heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the soil may impose a serious threat to living organisms due to their toxicity and the ability to accumulate in plant tissues. The present review focuses on the phylogenetic relationships, sources, biotransformation and accumulation potential of hyperaccumulators for the priority HMs and PAHs. This review provides an opportunity to reveal the role of hyperaccumulators in removal of HMs and PAHs from soils, to understand the relationships between pollutants and their influence on the environment and to find potential plant species for soil remediation. The phylogenetic analysis results showed that the hyperaccumulators of some chemicals (Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn, Cd) are clustered on the evolutionary tree and that the ability to hyperaccumulate different pollutants can be correlated either positively (Cd-Zn, Pb-Zn, Co-Cu, Cd-Pb) or negatively (Cu-PAHs, Co-Cd, Co-PAHs, Ni-PAHs, Cu-Ni, Mn-PAHs). Further research needs to be extended on the focus of commercializing the techniques including the native hyperaccumulators to remediate the highly contaminated soils.

Abstract
Accumulation of metals by plants is an important area of investigation in plant ecology and evolution as well as in soil contamination/phytoremediation practices. This paper reports that hormetic-biphasic dose-response relationships were commonly observed for multiple agents (i.e. arsenic, cadmium, chromium, fluoride, lead, and zinc) and 20 species in plant (hyper)accumulator studies. The hormetic stimulation was related to metal accumulation in affected tissues, with the metal stimulation concentration zone unique for each metal, species, tissue, and endpoint studied. However, quantitative features of the hormetic dose response were similar across all (hyper)accumulation studies, with results independent of plant species, endpoints measured, and metal. The dose-dependent stimulatory and inhibitory/toxic plant responses were often associated with the up- and down-regulation of adaptive mechanisms, especially those involving anti-oxidative enzymatic processes. These findings provide a mechanistic framework to account for both the qualitative and quantitative features of the hormetic dose response in plant (hyper)accumulator studies.

[PMID: 32217406 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The addition of toxic chromium in agrarian soils from mine overburden dump is of serious concern. To combat the toxicity of chromium an experiment was carried out at the Department of Botany, Utkal University, India by taking the chromium rich overburden dump (OBD) from Sukinda chromite mine, India. Different proportions of chromium rich OBD (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 70% and 100% OBD) were supplied to garden soil and plants of legume and non-legume categories (Sesbania sesban L. and Brachiaria mutica L.) were grown for assessment of phytoaccumulation ability of chromium, tolerance index, chlorophyll, protein and proline and the activity of oxidative inhibitors enzymes. After 60 days of experimentation, Cr phytotoxicity on physiological and biochemical parameters were assessed. The outcome of the results showed that the activity of antioxidant enzymes enhanced considerably in roots as compared to shoots with enhancing concentration of chromium. To compare the phytoaccumulation ability, the tolerance index (TI), bio-concentration factor (BCF) and transportation index (Ti) were measured in two different species. The results showed that at 100% OBD the TI, BCF and Ti of S. sesban have 22.30, 0.45 and 71.06 and B. mutica have 20.83, 0.43 and 42.45 respectively. The result showed that S. sesban not only had the highest bioaccumulation capacity of chromium but also have high tolerance index and transportation index as compared to B. mutica. Hence S. sesban can be recommended for phytostabilization programme to alleviate toxic chromium from chromite overburden mining sites.

Abstract
Chromium is one of the major pollutants in water and soil. Thus, it is urgent to develop a new method for chromium removal from the environment. Phytoremediation is a promising approach for heavy metal pollution recovery. As a perennial giant grass with a fast growth rate, Pennisetum sinese has been widely used as livestock feed, mushroom culture medium and biomass energy raw material. Interestingly, we have found a high adsorption capacity of P. sinese for chromium. P. sinese was treated with different concentrations of chromium for 15 days. Results showed that P. sinese plantlets grew well under low concentrations (less than 500 μM) of chromium (VI). The plantlet growth was inhibited when treated with high concentrations of chromium (more than 1000 μM). Up to 150.99 and 979.03 mg·kg−1 DW of chromium accumulated in the aerial part and root, respectively, under a treatment of 2000 μM Cr. The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of P. sinese varied from 10.87 to 17.56, and reached a maximum value at the concentration of 500 μM. The results indicated that P. sinese showed strong tolerance and high accumulation capability under Cr stress. Therefore, the chromium removal potential of P. sinese has a great application prospect in phytoremediation.

Abstract
Serratia sp. strain SU.ISM.1 was isolated from Noamundi iron ore mines for the first time and was observed for hexavalent chromium reduction, and growth kinetics modelling was applied for bacterial chromium reduction. For 4-8 ppm of hexavalent chromium concentration, complete reduction was observed within 36 h when the selected isolate was applied, and for 12-20 ppm chromium concentration, complete reduction was achieved within 48 h. The viable biomass concentration increased up to 36 h of treatment time, after which the biomass concentration gradually declined. The Aiba model of product inhibition growth kinetics best described the growth of biomass in the presence of hexavalent chromium. The total mass conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) for 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 ppm was found to be 94.9%, 88.5%, 74.66%, 70.75% and 78.8%, respectively. The AFM and FESEM studies showed that the roughness of the cell surface increased with increasing concentration of hexavalent chromium, probably due to adsorption of chromium.

Abstract
The farmland weed Youngia erythrocarpa has been found to have the basic characteristics of a cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator. This study carried out preliminary and further Cd concentration gradient experiments and field experiment using Y. erythrocarpa to confirm this fact. The results showed that the biomass and resistance coefficient of Y. erythrocarpa decreased, but the root/shoot ratio and the Cd content in roots and shoots increased with the increase in soil Cd concentration. The Cd content in shoots of Y. erythrocarpa exceeded 100 mg/kg when the soil Cd concentration was 25 mg/kg in the two concentration gradient experiments, up to the maxima of 293.25 and 317.87 mg/kg at 100 mg/kg soil Cd. Both the bioconcentration factor of the shoots and the translocation factor exceeded 1 in all Cd treatments. In the field experiment, the total Cd extraction by shoots was 0.934-0.996 mg/m(2) at soil Cd levels of 2.04-2.89 mg/kg. Therefore, Y. erythrocarpa is a Cd hyperaccumulator that could be used to remediate Cd-contaminated farmland soil efficiently.

Abstract
Metal concentrations (Al, Ba, Ca, K, Li, Mg, Na, Se, Sr and Ti) in submerged macrophytes and corresponding water and sediments were studied in 24 eutrophic lakes along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (China). Results showed that these eutrophic lakes have high metal concentrations in both water and sediments because of human activities. Average concentrations of Al and Na in tissues of submerged macrophytes were very high in sampled eutrophic lakes. By comparison, Ceratophyllum demersum and Najas marina accumulated more metals (e.g. Ba, Ca, K, Mg, Na, Sr and Ti). Strong positive correlations were found between metal concentrations in tissues of submerged macrophytes, probably because of co-accumulation of metals. The concentrations of Li, Mg, Na and Sr in tissues of submerged macrophytes significantly correlated with their corresponding water values, but not sediment values.
