Abstract
Pollution by toxic heavy metals creates a significant impact on the biotic community of the ecosystem. Nowadays, a solution to this problem is an eco-friendly approach like phytoremediation, in which plants are used to ameliorate heavy metals. In addition, various amendments are used to enhance the potential of heavy metal phytoremediation. Symbiotic microorganisms such as phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB), endophytes, mycorrhiza and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) play a significant role in the improvement of heavy metal phytoremediation potential along with promoting the growth of plants that are grown in contaminated environments. Various chemical chelators (Indole 3-acetic acid, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid, ethylene glycol tetra acetic acid, ethylenediamine-N, N-disuccinic acid and nitrilotri-acetic acid) and their combined action with other agents also contribute to heavy metal phytoremediation enhancement. With modern techniques, transgenic plants and microorganisms are developed to open up an alternative strategy for phytoremediation. Genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics are widely used novel approaches to develop competent phytoremediators. This review accounts for the synergistic interactions of the ameliorating agent's role in enhancing heavy metal phytoremediation, intending to highlight the importance of these various approaches in reducing heavy metal pollution.

Abstract
Along with expanding urbanization and industrialization, environmental pollution which negatively affects the surroundings, has been rising quickly. As a result, induces heavy metal contamination which poses a serious threat to living organisms of aquatic and soil ecosystems. Therefore, they are a need to ameliorate the effects cost by cost pollution on the environment. In this review, we explore methods employed to mitigate the effects caused by heavy metals on the environment. Many techniques employed to manage environmental pollution are tedious and very costly, necessitating the use of alternative management strategies to resolve this challenge. In this concept, bioremediation is viewed as a future technique, due to its environmental friendliness and cost-effective measures aligned with sustainable or climate-smart agriculture to manage contaminants in the environment. The technique involves the use of living entities such as bacteria, fungi, and plants to deteriorate toxic substances from the rhizosphere. Currently, bioremediation is thought to be the most practical, dependable, environmentally benign, and long-lasting solution. Although bioremediation involves different techniques, they are still a need to find the most efficient method for removing toxic substances from the environment. This review focuses on the origins of heavy metal pollution, delves into cost-effective and green technological approaches for eliminating heavy metal pollutants from the environment, and discusses the impact of these pollutants on human health.

Phytoremediation of cadmium contaminated alkaline soil using the ornamental hyperaccumulator Mirabilis jalapa L. enhanced by double harvesting: a field study. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:33506-33513. [PMID: 35029826 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-18589-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Ornamental hyperaccumulators are considered ideal plants for phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils because of their high accumulation capacity and minimal potential to enter the food chain. Aiming to estimate the phytoremediation efficiency and explore the influence of double harvesting, a filed study was carried out in Cd-contaminated alkaline soil using the ornamental hyperaccumulator Mirabilis jalapa L. Seeds of M. jalapa were sawn with spacing in rows of 15 cm and in lines of 20 cm on April 20th. Three treatments with different harvesting strategies were arranged: all plants were harvested once on September 10th (marked with H0), and the plants were harvested on July 20th for the first time at a height above ground of 50 cm and 30 cm (marked with H1 and H2, respectively), and then, they were harvested on September 10th for the second time. The plant samples were digested with a mixture of HNO3 and HClO4 and determined using ICP-MS. The results showed that the total biomass of the shoots increased from 505.81 ± 8.29 g/m2 in the H0 treatment to 849.72 ± 59.73 and 933.14 ± 96.12 g/m2 in the H1 and H2 treatments, respectively, while the total Cd accumulation in the shoots was 42.32 ± 4.44, 52.99 ± 7.32, and 56.30 ± 6.95 g/ha in the H0, H1, and H2 treatments, respectively. Phytoremediation efficiencies increased by at least 20% after the application of double harvesting. However, double harvesting also decreased the translocation and bioconcentration factors with a reduction of 30-55% because the Cd concentration in the shoots was low at the first harvest. Our results suggested that double harvesting is a powerful method to improve phytoremediation efficiency with low costs and minimal risk, and other technologies should be applied together to address the accumulation and translocation of Cd.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and economical technology in which plants are used for the removal of contaminants presents in the urban and rural environment. One of the challenges of the technique is the proper destination of the biomass of plants. In this context, the use of ornamental plants in areas under contamination treatment improves landscape, serving as a tourist option and source of income with high added value. In addition to their high stress tolerance, rapid growth, high biomass production, and good root development, ornamental species are not intended for animal and human food consumption, avoiding the introduction of contaminants into the food web in addition to improving the environments with aesthetic value. Furthermore, ornamental plants provide multiple ecosystem services, and promote human well-being, while contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. In this review, we summarized the main uses of ornamental plants in phytoremediation of contaminated soil, air, and water. We discuss the potential use of ornamental plants in constructed buffer strips aiming to mitigate the contamination of agricultural lands occurring in the vicinity of sources of contaminants. Moreover, we underlie the ecological and health benefits of the use of ornamental plants in urban and rural landscape projects. This study is expected to draw attention to a promising decontamination technology combined with the beautification of urban and rural areas as well as a possible alternative source of income and diversification in horticultural production.

Abstract
Environmental matrices are polluted with the plethora of contaminants, and among these, the concerns related to heavy metals (HMs) are also included. Due to the low cost in a long-term application and environmental friendliness, the use of biological remediation has gained significant attention in recent decades. The use of ornamental plants (OPs) in the field of phytoremediation is scarcely reported, and the impacts of HMs on OPs have also not been investigated in great depth. The OPs mediated HMs remediation can simultaneously remove contaminants and bring improvement in aesthetics of the site. The biomass of OPs produced after such activities can be used and sold as pot plants, cut flowers, essential oils, perfumes, air fresheners production, metal phytomining, and feedstock in silk production. The OPs also present a lower risk of HMs bioaccumulation compared to crop plants. This review focuses on the current knowledge of HMs toxicity to OPs, their applicability advantages, methods to improve the tolerance of OPs with incremented HMs uptake, challenges in the field, and future application perspectives. The case studies realted to practical application of OPs, from China, Iran, India, Oman, Pakistan, and Turkey, were also discussed. This work fetches the inter-disciplinary features and understanding for the sustainable treatment of HMs in a new novel way, to which no previous review has focused.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 393:122370.

Abstract
Appropriate chelator may increase plant tolerance and accumulation for Cd in soil, but its molecular mechanism is unclear. In this experiment, the technology of isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was used to compare the differential expression proteins (DEPs) and differential expression genes (DEGs) characteristics of poplar accumulating Cd combined with EDTA and/or EGTA. The results showed that the Cd concentrations, biomasses and activities of antioxidant enzymes of poplar were significantly increased in the treatments of chelator addition compared to the TCd. The number of co-intersecting specific proteins of TCd/CK, TCd+EDTA/TCd, TCd+EGTA/TCd and TCd+EDTA+EGTA/TCd was 49. Using the GO function and KEGG analysis, it was found that EDTA and EGTA might improve some main metabolic pathways of poplar leaves, which were involved in the enhancement of the expression of carbohydrate and energy metabolism-related proteins, regulation of cell energy metabolism, complementing and cooperating with each other in various ways, and dynamic regulation of energy metabolism. Particularly, chelator might induce the regulation of protein synthesis, folding and transport, and degradation of abnormal proteins in response to Cd toxicity. These results provided a theoretical basis for further elucidation of molecular mechanisms of poplar response to Cd stress.

Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of Triton X-100 (1000 mg kg-1) and nano-SiO2 (500 mg kg-1) on Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers. grown in phenanthrene spiked soil (150 mg kg-1) for 60 days. Results show that untreated groups, groups treated with both Triton X-100 and nano-SiO2, exhibited better phenanthrene degradation rates and improved root biomasses, chlorophyll contents, and soil enzyme activities. This study demonstrates that Triton X-100 combined with nano-SiO2 protects plants, alleviating the stress of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and can provide a means for improving phytoremediation of PAH contaminated soils.

Abstract
Mirabilis jalapa L. was identified as a cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator, but data were mainly from laboratory conditions. The main aim of the present study was to confirm whether M. jalapa is a Cd hyperaccumulator by field survey and laboratory experiment. The field survey was conducted at 3 sites and 66 samples were collected, and the results showed that although M. jalapa did not exhibit any visible damage when growing on soil containing 139 mg Cd kg-1, a low concentration of Cd (11.85 ± 3.45 mg kg-1) in its leaves was observed. Although the translocation factor (TF) was up to 3.24 ± 0.42, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) was only 0.13 ± 0.07. The Cd accumulation in leaves of Lanping (LP, contaminated site) and Kunming (KM, clean site) populations reached 93.88 and 81.76 mg kg-1 when artificially spiked soil Cd was 175 mg kg-1, respectively. The BCFs of LP and KM populations were 0.55 and 0.48, and the TFs of the two populations were 3.98 and 4.15, respectively. Under hydroponic condition, the Cd concentration in young leaves of LP and KM populations was 78.5 ± 0.8 and 46.3 ± 1.2 mg kg-1 at 5 mg L-1 Cd treatment, respectively. Furthermore, a significantly positive correlation between tissue Cd concentration and total Cd, CaCl2-extractable Cd, and TCLP-Cd (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) in soil was established. Therefore, M. jalapa had constitutional characteristics for Cd tolerance and accumulation, but it was not a Cd hyperaccumulator.

Abstract
The co-contamination of farmland soils with heavy metals and antibiotics from the application of livestock and poultry manures poses great threats to human health. Phytoremediation might be a good solution to this problem. A pot culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the remediation capacity of two ornamental hyperaccumulators, namely, Mirabilis jalapa L. and Tagetes patula L., in alkaline soils co-contaminated with cadmium (Cd) and tetracycline antibiotics (TCs). The growth of M. jalapa and T. patula was significantly influenced by the co-contaminated soil. In treatments with TCs alone, the growth of T. patula was promoted (p < 0.05), while that of M. jalapa was inhibited. In the C2T3 treatment with TCs and Cd combined, the biomass of T. patula and M. jalapa decreased by 42.27% and 56.15% in roots and by 22.24% and 32.27% for in shoots, respectively, compared with those in the same treatment without TCs. The addition of TCs increased the accumulation of Cd in treatments with less than 15.0 mg/kg Cd. In M. jalapa, the concentration of Cd increased by 4.64% and 39.69% in roots and by 30.33% and 71.71% in shoots, and that in T. patula increased by 74.66% and 11.03% in roots and by 15.36% and 17.58% in shoots, respectively, in two treatments with TCs compared with those in the treatments with Cd alone. However, the accumulated Cd amounts decreased from 36.25 to 31.91 μg/pot and increased from 201.33 to 229.26 μg/pot in C2T2 for M. jalapa and T. patula, respectively, compared with those in the treatments without TCs. The TC removal efficiencies of all treatments were above 99%, and the residual amounts of TC and OTC were higher than that of CTC. M. jalapa and T. patula are promising hyperaccumulators that can be used for the remediation of alkaline soil co-contaminated with Cd and TCs.

Liu X, Mao Y, Zhang X, Gu P, Niu Y, Chen X. Effects of PASP/NTA and TS on the phytoremediation of pyrene-nickel contaminated soil by Bidens pilosa L. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 237:124502. [PMID: 31549640 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.124502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2019] [Revised: 07/25/2019] [Accepted: 07/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Bidens pilosa L. (B. pilosa) is considered as an effective phytoremediation plant. In this study, polyaspartic acid (PASP), aminotriacetic acid (NTA) and tea saponin (TS) was combined with B. pilosa. to strengthen the phytoremediation efficiency. The removal rate of pyrene reached 95.8% with B. pilosa alone. The release of Ni in NTA and NTA-TS treatments was 20-30 times than untreated contaminant soil. The Ni concentration in roots of B. pilosa increased by 63.1% and 58.6% in PASP and PASP-TS treatments, respectively. The Ni concentration in leaves of B. pilosa increased by 55.9% and 186% in NTA and NTA-TS treatments, respectively. The growth of B. pilosa was significantly promoted in PASP and PASP-TS treatments. PASP, NTA and TS significantly promoted soil microbial activities. The results showed that B. pilosa was beneficial to pyrene removal. PASP and NTA had positive effects on absorption of Ni by B. pilosa.
